Sky are not using static IPs they are just very sticky, as they are switching to something called MER from PPPoA.
If you use your own Router then you can continue just switching on and off as normal, as only the sky Routers are switching, while other Routers seem to be staying with PPPoA.
But it is supposed to be against Sky rules to use another Router but a lot of people are, as their Routers are crap.
If your sky is loosing speed you should contact them, as they have different speeds for different users, by what I heard, you have to tell them you are a gamer to get the fastest speeds.
I have found that I have to switch router off on at peek times to get a new IP, as any other time it just sticks.
So you have to switch between six and eight in the morning, eleven to one in the afternoon, or five and seven at night.
Not great but was the only way I found to do it and it just means splitting the work on accounts through the day and days. So work on three accounts one day and then three accounts the next and then the next.
