So, I've had my IP from Xfinity for almost 12 years unchanged. Wake up this morning before I left for work? Guess what, it changed. Hope it STAYS what it is ... had to scurry and update my domain name to point to the new addy before I left. Sigh. Why can't people leave shit alone? :)
I'm spending about $120CDN per month for fiber with a static IP...

I haven't asked my new Fiber provider about static IPs yet. I'm enjoying savings $300USD/month over cable!

One time they turned off my WiFi b/c it was named ITHURTSWHENIP - they
literally turned off my DNS and messed up the BBS and my whole home network over it - I didn't even know they would monitor the NAME of the SSID. Weird
w0w; thats interesting - I use Xfinity, too... hope that doesn't point to something they'll be doing m0re often.

That's such bullshit. But I think I found my issue for net2bbs not working, as port 23 would just die for no reason. I get a ton of power off's for like 2 seconds, and apartently this netgear router got
screwed up somehow. I finally broke down and unplugged modem and
router since my wife was telling me some sites weren't displaying on
her phone.
I'm thinking maybe that's why my IP changed ... the router screwed up
so bad and they thought it was new of offline for too long. ?!?!?

I used cable when I first moved into this building because it was the only thing that was "high speed" at that time then switched to copper DSL when speeds increased and then when my ISP opened up fibre I switched in a heartbeat :)

I'm basically running a hosting company out of my tiny apartment so
there is a compelling need for addressing that never changes. It would
I keep meaning to ask you via email. With your fiber connection do you
run the bhell "modem" or did you switch to something else? I only ask because downloading is throttled on my bhell fibe connection. When I
run speed test sites it's great! Just what I pay for. LOL
Nope I replaced that pile of shit "modem" with something else but still
get throttled. But not as bad as Robbers.

there is a compelling need for addressing that never changes. It would
be a tough-sell to go back to cable or DSL now, thats for sure. Both of those used to flake out at random resulting in wonderful phonecalls
while on holidays.
