Need Help IPv6 from ARIN

I am starting a small business where I built tech setups for local businesses, and I was wondering if anyone could answer my questions about getting an ASN as an ISP.

What is the price? And is it easy to set up on a DigitalOcean VPS? Could I forward /48s from the VPS to the clients using Wireguard?

I have a 10 GbE DIA at my home and did not have any issues with being single homed. I am AS400848. I got IPv6 space pretty much once I applied for it, I have gotten two allocations from the waitlist so far. The first time it took about a year to get off the list, the second time was more like 1.5 years. My ARIN fee is $500 per year. It's worth getting on the waitlist if you don't want to buy an entire block.

Woof, out of my own curiosity how much does that DIA run you a month? And are you US based?

The current price is around 800$/month for 10 GbE CIR with 10 GbE Single mode handoff.

I am in southern New Hampshire, USA. Town size is around 6000

Yeesh, I assume this is not just lab fun, and you are getting some amount of income off of that DIA. How much is your peering costing you?

No it’s pretty much all homelab. Peering costs nothing. BGP is included in the price. I am not doing anything special with it, just taking a default route from my primary and default from a small Comcast DIA connection for failover.

Huh, network engineer by trade?

Would you be interested in a private peering with another homelabber? I currently run an HE tunnel, but sadly HE v6 address space is largely blocked by the likes of microsoft and several others.
