Philipp was pointing out that *we* are too expensive - and he's right,
as our company structure and overhead is really not targeting mass-market
customers (= every euro counts, and the competition is extreme) but
business customers with non-typical requirements, where "provider can 
deliver this at all" trumps "low price".

M-Net is a very good choice if you need a DSL line in the Munich,
Nueremberg or Augsburg area, and they have working and sort-of-supported
v6 these days - /56 assigned by DHCP-PD, router address assigned by RA.

Rumors say that DTAG is going to have IPv6 on their DSL products "real
soon now"... let's see.  Now would be a very good time to launch this,
and enjoy the press attention.
