cyril7: Hi are you with Sky for any TV services, if so their broadband is very good value if you are an existing TV customer, and all IPs are public and static, well never seem to change.

The service has been excellent. If you are not a Sky customer, then purhaps as others have said front up with the $120 per year for a static IP.

As for Spark, it's the exact same network as Bigpipe, so what was the reason for moving?

Very poor customer service. Can't talk to anybody and if you have any issues it takes at least 2 days for a response. Plus 2D had a good deal on signup including 6 months of Prime, Neon and other stuff.  Performance wasn't an issue.

Well it looks like I might have to move to another ISP now :-(  Not only has CGNAT broken my camera (which I could remediate by getting a new one) it's also causing issues with my Smart DNS service. This is because with CGNAT my Smart DNS provider has told me it's possible another 2D and Smart DNS customer could establish register their IP and it might be the same as mine :-( So I would be stuck with the services they had registered for.

 

 

 

I don't want to pay $10/month for fixed IP so I might have to move to provider who doesn't use CGNAT (Spark?)

 

 

 

 

Just ring 2D and see if they might give you a static IP for free.

 

2D are a good ISP and if your issue can be solved for $120 extra pa, then I would just pay it knowing I have a decent network and an ISP with good support

 

 

 

2D has sorted this out for me.  Thanks to duffles for both sorting out my provisioning and this issue. Great service.

Cloudflare Tunnel is a great solution for self hosters with CGNAT. Ideally pair it up with a reverse proxy like NGINX or Traefik.
