It's Time-Warner, and they are not ignorant. I think they're
experimenting. They are still working out bugs in their internal routing,
since my v6 routes have an annoying habit of disappearing inside their
network if I don't do a ping that passes through them every couple of
minutes.
Also, it may not actuallly be a /50. That's what their rwhois says, but
I haven't done a tcpdump so I don't know what size they're actually
offering me.
