Sky Broadband

Anyone know if sky Broadband is static or dynamic

[isitworththestress]

Found this with a simple google search

on a website called digital spy

I called Sky Broadband and asked if it used a Static IP. The sales guy went to check and said it was dynamic. We discussed a bit further and he said it was very dynamic and I would get a new address every time I reconnected.

100% dynamic

I use Skybroadband and can confirm its dynamic,the ip changes everyday as long as I switch of my router overnight....

thanks for heads up

overnight?...!

so not a simple case of switch off n back on again...shudda stayed with virgin lol

[oompaloompa]

no it can be switched off and on depending on your set up, simplest way to
disconnect router or pull phone socket out...

[cortex]

lemme go try that now...

oompaloompa - That is completely wrong!

When Sky changed their modems over it all went to STATIC.

I have to use mobile broadband due to the fact it doesnt change. In fact the real term is called ' STICKY DYNAMIC' but thats just a cute way of saying its static.

Check out my post on how to change it depending on the router you have -

When oompappa replied in 2011 that info was OK.

Be careful of responding without the full info
