Fixed IP address available on SKy fibre?

I'm a Be customer and have been contacted by Sky offering me the chance to move over. I'm on ADSL but asked about fibre. I was told I could have a fixed IP address but I see no mention of this on Sky's website. Anyone out there on a fixed IP?

Not yet available, but should be by the time BE users are auto-migrated to Sky.

I asked a couple of times and was told I could have a fixed IP included in the £20.00 a month fee... Got the impression it would be now, not in the new year.

Ok, first I've heard of it.

I'm not treating it as reliable information though... Sales person was unable to answer a couple of basic questions.

You're right to be sceptical, sales people will often say anything to get a sale (not a Sky-specific issue though).

If you can wait a few months more, Sky fibre with a static IP could be an attractive proposition.

I know I can get a fixed IP on PlusNet or Zen today, I'm not sure that Sky have as good a reputation as those companies. I have been left pretty unimpressed by Sky's call to me.

Consider Easynet Connect - a business ADSL service which uses Sky LLU (not to be confused wih Sky Connect!). They offer up to 13 static ip addresses and also Annex M if required. You could always say you're a home worker, cough cough splutter

PlusNet fixed IP cost me a one-off £1 plus the monthly rental for phone and FTTC is cheaper.

For some reason FTTC statics seem to be £4 cheaper than ADSL ones.. No idea why. It's just an admin charge when BT took over they didn't want PN to dish them out for free. I remember the team meeting we had about it at the time.

I suggest you better check out this then, static IP on FTTC is a one off £5.00 fee, BT buisness bb do statics too, but charge £5.00 per month for it , So if they have only charged you £1, then that maybe an error on their part
