    nah nah, setting up static IP's from router to PC, not ISP to customer, it makes torrents faster etc, and generally sorts out some connectivity things out

    apparently its more beneficial for online gamers - things like steam and that are set to one ip arent they, a dynamic ip would make it a fuck on to log into it

    was paying over £80 a month with virgin.
    Now down to £60 (excluding £50 for the hd box)
    Loads more channels tho, and picture quality is way better.

    Interweb to be installed in next few days. Says unlimited up to 16mb.
    (but heard sky net can be a twat sometimes) fingers crossed its not

    my modem's MAC determines what IP i get and it's always the same. Direct Connect needs port forwarding set up and the same IP - mine always has the same IP but then the cable connect is 'always on' rather than having to connect like ADSL

    so - with ADSL u get different IPs? i didn't think that was the case...
