LolYes they do, back from when RIPE handed them out like sweets.
They don't own a lot of /16s though - only four:
I hadn't spotted the /14 - not enough coffee today!They have a /14. Could use one of the 4 /16s in there and advertise the 3 /16s separately. May also be DNS records are out of date and they haven't been allocating those addresses for ages to empty them.
I'd hope it's a dynamic range they've stopped allocating.
What a waste, they used 70% of 16 million ip's internally.They don't own a lot of /16s though - only four:
My home broadband IP is in one of the above (one of the 51s, which some Googling suggests was flogged off by the DWP in 2015). Looking at DNS records, all the other /16s also have a lot of customers in them, or at least people who've got domains pointed at various IPs in these blocks.
- 51.148.0.0/16
- 51.155.0.0/16
- 51.170.0.0/16
- 217.155.0.0/16
They only seem to own four /16s, so one of the above must be what's for sale, so there are likely to be customers who end up renumbered.
70% of the massive block was used for the UK government's internal network, leaving about five million free for disposal.
I have an 82.71 addressI hadn't spotted the /14 - not enough coffee today!
An old employer has a server in the /14 (82.69.x.x) and it still seems to be alive and pingable, so there are at least some active customers in there. I can't find anything inside 82.70 or 82.71, though, so it looks like one of those may be for the chop.
Sounds about right, Truespeed purchased our spare 1,024 addresses last year.£44 per address seems…quite high.
What’s the going ‘guide price’ for wholesale v4 address blocks these days?
Sound like Zen want to free up some otherwise dead capital.
Maybe Zen have timed their run wrong. AltNets aren't exactly flush with spare cash at the moment. Though they do need some v4'sSounds about right, Truespeed purchased our spare 1,024 addresses last year.
Same for me, I'm 51.155, but if I got moved it wouldn't be a huge issue as I'm just a home user and don't have a lot of stuff that's reliant on that single public IPv4.I have an 82.71 address
No huge problem if I get moved as long as I keep a static address.
