I had the same /29 for 24 years with Zen, preserved across various
technology changes (including to FTTP a couple of years ago) and a
house move.  Then last month they changed it as part of a
reorganisation of their IPv4 address space.  (My IPv6 allocation
didn't change.)

Initially I was horrified when I received the notice, but in the end
the change-over was not too difficult.  The biggest annoyance was that
I couldn't set up rDNS on the new addresses until after the address
change had happened.  (Their rDNS web page will only accept a domain
name whose forward DNS matches.)  I reduced the TTL on forward DNS to
30 mins ahead of time, but the TTL on their rDNS records is fixed at
24 hours, so I had to make sure I didn't try to send any outgoing
mail until the change had propagated.
