Moving from FTTC to FTTP

smiro03 — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 10:54:08 GMT

I have the following questions relating to moving from Plusnet FTTC to FTTP.

Will my Plusnet Username and password change when I move to FTTP?
Will my public IP address change?
Can I get a static IP address with FTTP?

Thanks for the help with these questions.

Kind regards

Robert Smith

Not if you are upgrading your current account
It shouldn't do if you currently have a static IP and you are upgrading the account
Yes you can get a static IP on FTTP.

@smiro03 you are aware that you will lose your landline phone ?

@smiro03

I'm guessing here but I would imagine your public IP address will change as you would be moved onto a different part ot the PN network.

As mentioned you can get a static IP for (I believe) a one off payment of £5. I believe if you do get one before moving to FTTP it comes with you.

You're initially connected through a different part of the Openreach network but end up on the same part of the PN network, so there's no reason why the static IP should change. In fact mine has stayed through changes from dial-up to adsl to fttc to fttp(trial) and finally to fttp. There was a minor hiccup going from fttp trial to fttp (full fibre product) due to a system issue, whereby a new static was issued temporarily but the old static was not lost and was returned when the issue was fixed.
