This is my only concern, I quite like my sticky IP which hasn't changed in
over a year. Time to find out if my router's dyndns support works properly,
or else my mail is going to go severely tits up!

From the ADSLguide forums:

"The "stickyness" of an IP is pretty much decided by when your account was
originally provisioned. Because the upgrade won't require a cease and
reprovide your account (and therefore IP address status) will remain the
same."

Woo hoo :-)

and I got this e-mail about Freedom2Surf as well:


4 September 2003, London - Freedom2Surf, (www.freedom2surf.net) the UK's
leading independent ISP, has today announced that it is reducing the cost of
its award winning 1mb ADSL Power User service to only £29.99 exc. VAT per
month, a reduction of 25 per cent.

The updated pricing will take effect from 6 October 2003 and new customers
can pre-register for the service now by visiting www.freedom2surf.net. The
first 500 customers to register for the service are also being offered a 50
per cent discount on the regular activation fee of £59.99 exc. VAT.

Freedom2Surf is one of the first ISPs to take advantage of BT Wholesale's
new 1mb consumer ADSL package, IPStream Home1000. Freedom2Surf Power User is
available for broadband users who want even greater speed from their
Internet connection for activities such as downloading music and video files
and online gaming. The Power User package is available at a 50:1 contention
ratio, and includes 20mb of web space, 5mb of database space and 20 email
addresses. The service will be available nationwide to customers living near
an ADSL enabled exchange.

Chris Panayis, Managing Director of Freedom2Surf commented: "Since Power
User's launch in March 2003, the 1mb ADSL service has proved to be very
popular in meeting the growing need from our customers for faster Internet
connectivity. Our Power User service is twice as fast as broadband
connections offered by certain well known ISPs, yet costs only a few pounds
a month more.

"Freedom2Surf is committed to lowering the price of ADSL services to a
sustainable and more affordable level for our customers. That is why we have
moved quickly to take advantage of this new package from BT Wholesale, to
make ultra-fast ADSL even more affordable" Chris continues.

Freedom2Surf is also offering customers new and improved ADSL hardware, and
have partnered with US Robotics to provide the USR 9003 modem. The new
Ethernet and USB based modem will make installing ADSL even simpler for
customers, as Freedom2Surf will have the ability to pre-configure the
hardware to match a customers computer set-up prior to dispatch. The new
modem has the added advantage of being X-Box Online gaming compatible. Power
User customers have the option to purchase all the necessary ADSL equipment
including the modem from Freedom2Surf for just £69.99 exc. VAT.

To pre-register for Freedom2Surf Power User and for further information on
broadband please visit www.freedom2surf.net/adsl

What's the difference between a sticky IP and a dynamic IP?
Thanx

shades of grey. A sticky IP is unlikely to change but could change, in
other words you are likely to get the same IP if you
disconnect/reconnect but this is not guaranteed.

A dynamic IP is likely to change each time to connect.
