Working with a new customer that is moving their services over to our UFB product.
I'm in a bit of shock - they've been paying Vodafone for who knows how long - $276 a year for a Static IP.
Is this standard Vodafone pricing?????

DonGould: I agree with the general tone that customers should always keep looking at offers to keep in touch with the value they're getting.
As for static IP addresses, it's just expensive in terms of time and resources to manage this stuff and some providers would prefer not to be in that business, so if required to provide the service they just charge more.
It's an interesting issue though, IPv4 space is getting more and more expensive.

I'd be sitting in raro slurping on something nice is I could flick them off at $276 / year though ;)
My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

Jeez, telecom force you to get a static ip.
Maybe that is the answer?

PaulBrislen: That's odd. I'm on the Vodafone business plan that gives you 1TB of data for daytime use (for $20/month no less) and that comes with a static IP address as standard. No charge.
Curious.
hamish225: why dont providers just hurry up and get IPV6 then?

They might be on a legacy plan then?hamish225: why dont providers just hurry up and get IPV6 then?
You're not going to see providers with just IPv6 anytime soon. What is likely to appear is a service identical or similar to DS-Lite where customers get a unique range of IPv6 addresses and for IPv4 services they share an address with a bunch of other users.
So for the IPv4, NAT is done at the ISP.
