BT likely have plenty of IPs in their pool to cover their customer base and then some.isn't is difficult to maintain a decent pool of IPv4 addresses these days?
BT will very likely have a large excess of IP's considering the size and age of the provider. Even if Plusnet cant take from the overall BT pool, they are also likely to have no problems with IP supply as they themselves were around when they were given out like candy.I assume Plusnet will at some point (soon ?) have to support IPv6... I only vaguely understand but isn't is difficult to maintain a decent pool of IPv4 addresses these days?
None of the BT brands use CGNAT so you should be okay there. BT hasn't gone down the route of selling off addresses like smaller ISPs have done, so I wouldn't expect any change to that.I assume Plusnet will at some point (soon ?) have to support IPv6... I only vaguely understand but isn't is difficult to maintain a decent pool of IPv4 addresses these days?
Those are two unrelated issues. Sadly, deploying IPv6 does nothing to reduce the requirements for IPv4 at the provider side, since users expect to be able to reach the IPv4 Internet.I assume Plusnet will at some point (soon ?) have to support IPv6...
