Sky Static IP address?


[link to this post]
 
Hello,

I'm currently with BT for broadband (ADSL) Does Sky broadband offer static IP address with their service as add-on or as a package?

Thanks,

Think it was only available to users who were part of the BE ISP that they bought some time ago.

You can get a static IP on Sky's Pro Broadband package..

You can only order this package via the phone.

Zen offers one as part of the service and they are £16,99 for ADSL.

Not sure what Sky Pro is cost wise.

Is that one-off, or monthly/annual fee?

The indispensable man or woman passes from the scene, and what happens next is more or less the same thing as was happening before.

I thought you were talking about the cost of the static IP address. Many ISPs charge a monthly fee, unless it is supplied as standard with the product. The Plusnet one-off charge is quite unusual.

Yeah so affectively its £5 extra per month for Staic IP and I think advanced line profiles now on ADSL.

Just a quick note - whilst a static IP address is available for Sky Fibre Unlimited Pro customers, it needs to be activated via the Sky Website (My Sky > Broadband Pro). It also isn't available for all exchanges. I'm guessing Sky uses their LLU kit and either have incompatible or un-configured kit at some exchanges...

If you remove a static and re apply one within an hour you won't get charged twice.

Which i read somewhere by someone who did it.

indeed, but these "most isp's" are actually breaking ip allocation guidelines.

IP's are not supposed to be profitable.

In the case of sky its ok as they have it as part of another package.

Plusnet is obviously ok.

However I find BT's £5 month premium somewhat dodgy.

Plusnet Fibre Unlimited BQM - IPv4 BQM - IPv6
