I don't see any reason for CenturyLink to discontinue this practice.

I changed from Static IP to DHCP for the same reason - and it hasn't been any issue. My "DHCP" IP address doesn't change often (as long as my router is still up - which is practically all the time).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23297507 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:09:30 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23297464 riblet : Hello.

I searched the FAQ for this, but the FAQ is pretty much a desert of information.

So, I'll ask here: What method is CenturyLink/Embarq using for dynamic IP addresses in SW Florida (Naples to be exact)? Is it garden variety DHCP or some form of PPPoE? I've got a static now but since the price increased to $10 it is not really worth it. My problem is that unless DHCP is used my wildly unstable line won't be usable. PPPoE would not work at all.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23297464 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:01:49 EDT
