I was just reading the alternative sky forum and on there someone was talking to their customer support, who talked to their next layer up support, who told them it is was going to be switching them all to fixed IPs.
But reading more on this you may have heard of the IPv6 roll out that started recently, and by the sounds of that all modems, proxies and other links linked to the net will be saddled with a fixed IP.
So far only the big companies like google and microsoft and the like have switched to using it but eventually all companies will be switching to using it and it is going to be costing us a fortune in getting new ways to connect to the net for each account. Imakemoney
At the moment I think it depends on what router you have, as some of the old routers and even some of the new routers have not updated to something called MER, as apposed to PPPoA
What sort of router you got and is it still using PPPoA are has it switched to MER?
If you log into your router it will tell you on the log in page
