RE: ADSL - Static IP

["James, Daniel" <daniel.james@xxxxxxx>]

Only demon seem to offer static IP - and their service is £10 per month more than BT's.

 

Personally I am torn at the moment, I know I want ADSL at home, but am not sure whether to go with demon (my current ISP) or to sign up for a cheaper deal elsewhere, demon insist you give up your dial up account, so you are then stuck with connecting with then through ADSL -and when it all goes wrong you cannot access the web  :-(

Hmmm, I spoke to BT about doing this for my home account. They said I
would have to be bound by my normal Home 500 account for the minimum
contract period, so I would be paying the £40 a month until the contract
reached the minimum contract period (12 months) plus the rate for
Business 500. Needless to say I told them what they could do with that.

thought this was probably the case, but thought I would ask!

looks like they'll have to up their contract to a Business 500 account.

Cheers

Your ISP owns the IP address - they 'give' it to you whether it's static
(never changes) or dynamic (changes all the time).

You'll have to take it up with BT I would have thought :-(
