Quote from: Chris OK, I was just reasserting it as this thread still seems to be asking the same question?
Because I haven't had a definite answer.

Quote from: Chris There is no lease time
Thanks. That answers that then.
Would it be possible to allocate one? I think this has been answered above, but not sure if it was an official answer or just another guess?

There is no need for leases. Using leases would increase overheads. If there was a large scale outage on the BT network which dropped thousands of users and they were all trying to reconnect at the same time (which does happen occasionally) it would be horrendous.
For the very, very low percentage of users who need fixed IPs there is the option available.
I'm totally baffled as to what you think having leases would achieve. It wouldn't reduce the number of disconnects and it only slightly decreases the number of times the IP would change. For those that want to be able to access their home network from elsewhere, free options such as DynDNS are available.

Like the previous poster who's post has been deleted you mean?

Quote from: Anotherone the one in this thread can be solved by you paying for a fixed IP address.
Unfortunately that is not available.

What stops working or can you not do when the IP address changes?
