so is there just no standard for renewal? Or are ISPs just refusing to use the standard, for whatever reason?

I can't imagine we don't already have a standard for this shit. I'd be baffled if we didn't. So surely it's just ISPs being their usual, useless selves.

This is less to do with the ISPs and more to do with the implementation of DHCP-PD renewals on various software/hardware devices. I'm not going to point any fingers, but it seems that some vendors don't play very nicely with other vendors.

oh so it's a classic instance of shitty hardware vendors doing shitty software things.

Gotta love technology.
