True that. However, the email I got seems to indicate the service will be ongoing for a while and speaking from a personal standpoint I paid for a 3 year renewal just a few months back. So unless they are planning on offering refunds I expect my service to continue for a few more years. By then the landscape will have changed again. One issue with the other providers is the lack of integration - at least for me. On most of the gear I use the DynDns service is a in HW option. So I don't have to run clients on my clients to update IPs. -Ali
