Sweet!
I tried for more than a year to get a /29 block working.
They charged me for that class of service for most of that time
but were still giving me PPPoE with just one dynamic address.
I finally abandonned it (other issues; long story).  Never could find
a technician who could look at their end and understand what I was
trying to do.  And don't say the L word or they ramp up the fee.

I've certainly had plenty of THAT problem!
