We need address space for a six-month infrastructure project

Good afternoon! We need address space for a six-month infrastructure project, and different brokers are quoting very different prices. How would you judge whether an offer is genuinely good rather than simply cheap?

Good afternoon! Price per address is only one part of the decision. I would compare block reputation, RIR region, minimum term, setup fees, LOA speed, support, and replacement rules. InterLIR’s guide to renting IPv4 addresses is a useful starting point because it covers practical steps, not just the headline rate. You should request the exact prefix before signing, run independent blacklist and routing checks, and confirm that your intended use is allowed. A slightly higher monthly price can be worthwhile when documentation, activation, and abuse handling are clearly managed.
