Static IP Addresses
Is it possible to get a static ip address for ntlworld home broadband?
While i know that your more than likely to keep the same ip, it could change, although I do have a resolver from no-ip which auto updates it would be nice to know if i could get a static one?

Re: Static IP Addresses
I don't believe it is possible on any of their domestic packages. You would have to become a business customer instead (££££££).
If you want a static IP then there are a number of ADSL options. I'm no expert, but don't you get better upstream bandwidth on ADSL, which presumably you would be interested in if a static IP addy is important to you?

Re: Static IP Addresses
Static I.Ps are not available for residential customers.
Your no-ip resolver is your only option-that give you a 'static' address anyway, why change that?
[Edit]-Beaten to it!

Re: Static IP Addresses
Static IP's are not availale on NTL at all - apparently even the business packages use static entries in DHCP - so in theory your IP can change.

It is not theoretical either - they changed on us a few weeks back when their was alot of network work done in our area. We were not warned of the change at all!

Re: Static IP Addresses
ADSL is probably the best option for static IP's and you normally get a better upload than the standard rubbish of NTL's 600K - I'm not bitter but I am not paying BT for a phone line!

Re: Static IP Addresses
The thing I hate about static Ips are when you try to connect to your IP controlled systems:
(EZBounce) No Authorization For IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Webmin: You Are Not Authorized To View This Page
But I prefer the extra downstream and lower latency than ADSL so I wouldnt switch.
Cable has MUCH lower overheads and even though NTL can suck at times, they are good.
