This should be easy, right ?

Thanks that looks like the best I can hope for in terms of disposable, geographically, low cost ipv6 adresses. They give whole /48 so I imagine they expect you to keep using them. Hopefully there is also a way to release the addresses when you're done with them.

I was hoping I could route any single ipv6 address to my location but looks like ipv6 doesn't have as much address portability as I'd hoped!
