I would like to add to the Static IP bonus that other ISP's such as Netvision are now willing to give free of charge a Static IP to a business account (which anyone can be pretty much). -David

Please correct me if I'm wrong. > I would like to know, if possible, what is the real price for the ISP to give a user a static IP. In dialup days, when a single IP address was shared by maybe 10-20 users because they were connected 1-2 hours a day, a static IP was more expensive for the ISP. But these days, when many, probably all the "static IP potential customers", have a router that is connected 24x7 and effectively do have a static IP, the only price I see is the cost of administration, not of the address itself. So I guess it should be low (or zero) and one-time. Am I far from the truth? If I am right, it just means that you, Actcom, did the expected thing and gave away something that doesn't really cost you, while the other ISPs do the "evil" thing of using market forces to charge for something that should be free. I do not underestimate your brave decision, just shedding some light on it. I'd also like to thank you for your sincere and interesting answers. -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
