I rang the Vodafone 'New Customer' 'Rural Specialist' hotline but the person

I got knew less about the service than I did (having just read their webpage).

Can anyone answer the following questions:

1) Does this service support IPv6?

2) If yes, will I get allocated a /56?

3) Can I have a Static IPv4 address?

4) What bandwidth am I likely to get?

I have direct line of sight to a vodafone tower out of my window.

I guess it is about 2km away.

If you use this service please can you comment on its reliability and throughput.

Many Thanks

RBI wireless is not IPv6 on Vodafone

No to static IP

The bandwidth question is like how long is a bit of string

There are a number of RBI resellers that offer static public IPv4 addresses - but I'm assuming the OP is interested in dealing direct with VF.

Or maybe they simply don't know of the other better options yet ;)
