Re: Static IP addresses
I have nothing against you DJBuzz. Since you've read my CT review you know that for the better part of 2 months I had no other option than to try every hack possible in a vain attempt to make my situation work. It just wasn't going to happen. I knew going in that I was in the top 1% of cases where hacks (or "work-arounds" if you prefer) weren't going to work, which is why I spoke with a dozen different CT reps at all levels to confirm that their services were described accurately. I carefully explained my situation over and over again just to make sure there was no confusion over terminology. It wasn't until I actually went to set up service that I came to find out everything I had been told was a lie, and that conveniently they had "no records of me ever calling them" about the issue.
So yeah, I'm still really raw about the whole static vs sticky thing, especially after being lied to so thoroughly by a major ISP about it. I don't care what work-arounds you can implement for sticky IPs, they still aren't static IPs. For 90% or more of the people out there this doesn't make a difference, but that still doesn't mean you can describe them as interchangeable because they aren't in all cases. That is the entire substance of my ongoing argument.
And I will be updating my CT review shortly as I am learning even more about CenturyTel's situation here, and believe it or not it gets even uglier. |
