Before you decide to change plans, etc the important issue [for us all] is approximately June next year the world will have run out of IP addresses. There are currently around 204 million left. There 'were' 4.3 billion and 30 years ago that was imagined as 'enough'... bit like the Dos 640 memory limit].
This means the 'Net' will switch to a 128bit system for IP handling....the hardware, etc. will need to be new [it's backward-compatible] but without people buying new hardware users will see more nad more of the [total] Net being inaccessible to them.
There are claims it will cost the Net users [as a whole] in the billions to 'upgrade'.
Think of it like running out of phone numbers....and countries moving from [say] 7 digit to 8 digit ...so there's more available...except in this case...if your mate gets a new 8 digit number...you won't be able to ring them as your phone only handles 7.
All this affects cell/mobile phones too....the ones with net access [not just computers]...
