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.
