Fttc isp required

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Looking at freeola and zen at the moment any others i should look at i require 80/20 and static ip is a bonus.

Dont want to spend a fortune tho so up to about 35 inc line rental

Plusnet come recommended.

And you can get fixed IP for a one-off payment of £5.

plusnet seems rather expensive for what they offer. After the initial term ends line rental is a bit of a joke at £19

Zen.
No hassle, best quality and service.

Vodafone give you a static IP for free if you ask.

You can get a 'static' IP for free if you have an ASUS router that supports their dynamic forwarding service. Anyone know if I can achieve the same at no cost using Google WiFi?

Seems some of the availability checkers dont like the fact my line is with sky grr

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Now it seems i cant be migrated i need a new line to leave sky!

You shouldn't need a new line. Getting Sky to remove their tag can be a major pain though and you will lose your phone number..

Static IP at home on a home broadband connection?
Good luck - most only come with "business" broadband and often you need to pay either a standalone fee (not much, less than £10) or monthly.

There are broadband comparison sites to compare speeds and services in your postcode.

Basically any broadband over 20Mbps will be FTTC so no need to worry there......

[Trustmeimadoctor]

I know of some that dont charge for first static obviously if i wanted a pool then sure a charge would apply

It will be an LLU line. The line should terminate in the exchange where BT, TalTalk also have their kit.

Given up and ordered with zen they would accept my number

Wrong. You can get a free static IP from Zen on a home package.

It's not a bad choice - they are a solid company to deal with. Just keep an eye on the pricing after your first year.
