1 edit | Static IP = 3 times my current cost? I'm currently on the $17.95 a month plan for 1.5 mbps down with DHCP.
I'd like to have a static IP. Just one. I don't need 5.
DSL Extreme says the lowest priced plan with static IP's is $44.95 a month. Nearly 3 times the cost.
Is there something I'm missing? Anything?
Wow. I certainly hope that changes before my contract expires, especially if another provider offers a plan with a static IP for less. Hard to justify almost $30 a month for 1 (or 5) static IP's. | |

ISP's offer static ip's either in block/29 or 8 of them. Yes price is high, being that a lot of people got no need for static it cost a lot.

But twice now, it went kaput, and has caused a number of problems I'd like to avoid by having a static IP.
(By kaput, I mean I no longer had a dyndns account. Just like *that* | |

| If you log in to your account on the DSLextreme website and click on modify my subscription it will tell you exactly what plans you qualify for and the pricing. Let me know if you need any help and I also use logmein.com to access my network at home, it works great!

When I called, I was told the cheapest one is 3 times what I pay now. From $17.95 to (IIRC) $49.95. | |

Van Nuys, CA | OK guys please humor me and tell me the advantages of having a static IP?
