Good IP provider
 

Can anyone recommend a good ip provider (that lets you change ip address)
as i am on virgin media and cant seen to change ip address

who do you recommend


thanks Mark

BT is easy to use but pricey

Yes, BT I find is good and very fast to change the IP - about 10 - 25 seconds odd.

I also heard Sky are OK, but I have had no experience with them so I cant confirm.

If none of those suit, there are always dongley wongleys - bit slower than above 2, but works a treat.

i am on virgin media and can change IP address 3 times per day do you have a connection straight to your modem or do you have a router then modem ? Do you have a router ? if you contact virgins "we are thinking of leavin virgin, department" they will send you a wirelss router free

Hello I'm with Virgin media with a wireless router how do I change my IP so eBay can't link to my old one?

switch off and on router button and keep checking with ipburger

i would NOT recommend sky for ip address switching

it takes too long sometimes for the ip to change,and even when you switch the router off and on it still gives you the same,it still works but there are better options out there

dongles work great, any of the mobile phone providers provide them and i heard they are all pretty decent

have a look here Pay-As-You-Go Mobile Broadband Deals | PAYG Mobile Internet Genie

plenty of pay as you go or contacts to choose from

bt broadband is great for switching ip address also

bt unlimited option where you can join openzone

you can connect as many p'cs as you like to the openzone at the same time using the same login details and all the computers will have different i.p's

Think TizWoz like that one as well, NS :thumb:

BT is excellent. No need to worry about the price when you can make good money. Anyway, it is only £16 a month, first 4 months is free...

I put a thread out a few weeks ago about how BT offer unlimited openzone and BTFON minutes for free. Each time you connect, you get a completely different IP. That way you can "hold" an IP using your router (BTHomeHub 3), whilst using a different IP on the Openzone, etc...

I have been monitoring the IP's as ever, and I have never come across a duplicate yet. :clap:

yeah bt is a quality service all round,

not expensive really when you compare it with virgin and sky

Disagree about Sky mines and always had a new IP thus far :)

But yeah BT is another provider that offers a dynamic service.

Dongle is also another option but speed can be an issues depending what area you live in....

I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with MR GTB, Sky is now terrible for changing IP addresses, I've tried to change my IP address but it does not change at all.

Depends on your router me thinks...

how long you have Sky as your ISP?

yeah i knew you had sky and was happy with it IM£

but recently i have had a few ip`s come up that i have had previously and sometimes when i turn router off,leave for about a minute and back on again the ip doesn't change

i had bt before and it was much better for ip switching

I use TalkTalk everytime i restart it, i get a new ip.

yeah my cousin is really happy with talk talk

i nearly went there but the reviews about the customer service put me off

sky
 

If you change your ip number on sky..Make sure you keep a record of the ip numbers cos sometimes it gives you an exact ip number that you used a few months ago on the sky method its happened to me so be warned campers

this is what i do .

a stealthers gotta do what a stealthers gotta do

well done:thumb:

To all the Virgin crew that can change their IP thanks. I dont have that setup but I knew for certain there was a way and you lot confirmed my suspicions - nice one.

If I did have Virgin, I would have kicked arz like you lot.

I can confirm all of this - spot on

id love BT but the boss wont let me have a bt cable fixed to the roof apex. Im managing with virgin which is underground. Local parish council have just blocked a mobile phone mast that would give me great access with a dongle. sob sob

So can I just get this straight ... with one of those mobile internet dongle, the IP address changes everytime you use it?? Ive got a TMobile one knocking around somewhere PAYG... that would get round the same IP recorded issue??? Thanks.

I wouldn't give you a cast iron guarantee, but it's almost certain that you'll get a new IP when disconnecting/reconnecting.

log onto your computer

make sure you are connected to the internet via the tmobile dongle

go here IP Burger - What is my IP Address? Find Your IP Address!

check your ip address and note it

then log off...turn the dongle off

then log back on and check again

sometimes you may get same ip so always check

In regards to stealth and multiple ip addresses bt is unbeatable.

Only provider i know you can have more than one i.p at once.

for example, 4 laptops all connected at the same time with different i.p's

must be business broadband. or, do all IP addresses start with 192?

?????????

What you talking about ?

think your getting your i.p address confused.

after working broadband tech support for 5 years (2004-2009), I think I might know what an IP address is. you're saying you can get 4 different IPs from 1 connection. i'm saying that's not possible unless you're on BT Business BB. Unless things have changed dramatically.

Derby Dave are you in Derby ? I'm in Notts around Ikea way
