	[SM] I have some youtube-affine kifs^W erm, "users" on my network that might push the ratio towards IPv6  then ;)

	[SM] True!

	[SM] I am sure Vodafone DSL used to have that issue, but honestly I do not know about the current state (so maybe I should have reasearched that first before posting), I would hope for their users that they activated IPv6.
