FAQ: Is my IP address Static or Dynamic?

All of our residential broadband connections are assigned with dynamic IP addresses.

 

We do this so we can make efficient use of the IP addresses that we have available.

 

So what does this mean for you? In a nutshell it means that you could be assigned a new IP address at any time.

 

The way our network and systems are structured mean we don't change people's IP addresses often, but please be aware that they can change without notice.

 

If you need a static IP, never fear, we are launching a static IP product very soon, and will let you know when it's ready.

 

(Dynamic IP addressing can assign a different IP address each time a customer logs on to their computer, or it can assign a new IP address as the ISP deems it necessary. Static IP addressing on the otherhand maintains the same IP address for a customer, and is used for mail servers and other applications).
