Good luck.  We've been bitching at our sales rep for years, as we've added circuits, and haven't gotten even empty 
promises; just the same endless Verizon BS about "it's being tested in select markets" although no one has ever been 
able to prove that to be the case.  You definitely get static IP's on business connections; that's just a matter of how 
much you pay and how many you need.

Subject: Verizon FIOS IPv6?

My strategy, should I remember it tomorrow:

We have a business-class FIOS connection where I work and a static IP as well. At least three people who work here have 
FIOS at home. I've read rumors about business class customers who really work their phone sex getting native ipv6, and 
I also heard somethin about static ip's. So I'll try that, and also mention that "we're transitioning our employees who 
remote in from home to FIOS but we'd like ipv6 for ... VPN purposes, NAT traversal, etc ..." I mean, that should get 
them a little wet right?

I have a bit of a hairbrained theory that the reason ISP's have stagnated on ipv6 has to do with relationship between 
capitalism and scarcity. Having a limited quantity of anything makes it more valuable. Why wouldn't that apply to IP's?
