Is that so? At least Telekom doesn't do that for IPv4 anymore. They do have a 24h dynamic prefix for IPv6 though (which feels very weird, considering they stopped doing that for IPv4)

The ephemeral IPv6 addresses are just the IPv6 privacy extensions at work. They're just following RFCs

I guess their router stack provides this for free, while the "Zwangstrennung" (disconnect every 24h) was implemented somewhere on their side. So it's actually easier now for them
