Home Internet Static IP
Is it possible to get a static IP with the 5G Home Internet service? Normally I wouldn't need it but since my connection dies at least once a week I get a new IP every time my modem reboots. I work...
@scottyj we use netflix, Disney, paramount, youtubetv, prime … I also run a plex server (for movies) and channelsDVR (local OTA channels and such) server
none of these give us any trouble as they determine location differently than DTV and Hulu. DTV and Hulu are stupid and have these problems, while almost everyone else does not. also, I was mostly referring to the problems about streaming being throttled on the “business internet”. my experience is not throttled, at all, and faster almost all the way around except for the static ip latency issue.
my “static” IP bounces all over the country, at one point today I was in LA, another in Chicago, another in Delaware and another in Virginia. it’s weird but none of the services we use have a problem.
you could also look at Sling as an alternative if you're up for that. I don't believe they have problems like DTV does. it's very similar content from what I recall.
