On average my Static IP Addresses have changed (been reassigned due to network upgrades) every two years. This is the third time I've had to have my IP addresses changed due to a "Network" update. You'd think that for the $60.00/yr extra I pay for each additional static address, I'd be able to keep a set for more than 2 years at a time. I use both Cox static and Cox dynamic IP's in my network and I believe I've had a DHCP (dynamic) IP for a longer period of time than some of my static IP's. So here is a follow on question for you to ponder.-> Should the customer be responsible for charges they incur to update their systems to support these "Network" updates? In my case I have to get a consulting company to make the changes to my systems. It's not just updating the IP addresses in the OS but itsalso the software I run that has the"Static" addresses imbedded into it. So these IP addresses are a bit of a pain to update every two years. Thanks again for your feedback... Static IP Addresses... I have a Business Internet Account so I pay more for my Internet connection and alsopay $5.00 extra each month for eachstatic IP addresse (more than one) that I need. Why is it that Cox keeps changing my static IP addresses. This causes me quite a bit of extra work and cost (since I have to engage a consultant) to re-IP my equipment and the software that I have installed. Does Cox not know what STATIC means? Here this may help: stat·ic (st t k) adj. 1. a. Having no motion; being at rest; quiescent. b. Fixed; stationary.
