Hi Lttony, are you experiencing any issues at all with our service? All of our IP addresses are DHCP (dynamic), meaning, they theoretically change every 24 hours. If you leave your modem unplugged for at least 24 hours, this may trigger a new IP Address. -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator
Thanks for the reply, Kevin. Yes, I understood that I have a dynamic IP "in theory." My IP hasn't changed since we got back Jan 3, at least.

-ChrisThanks, Chris. Confirms what I suspected.
