I'm wanting to experiment with remote html access to a Raspberry Pi, but reading other posts, it seems that no static IP is available for Plusnet Value customers.
Does this mean I need to check with http://www.whatismyip.com before each experiment?
Or will the IP dynamically assigned by plusnet stay the same whilst the Thompson Gateway remains switched on?
And do plusnet (or another) offer a DNS service which would keep track of changing IP addresses as they are dynamically assigned ?
It would be of interest to hear how other plusnet customers cope with dynamically assigned IP addresses.

Your IP address should remain the same as long as you remain connected, it'll change each time your router disconnects/reconnects.
I don't think the 582n has the ability to do dynamic DNS in the firmware.

Thank you Chris. From what you say there should be enough stability for me to experiment.
If I want to go further, then the Paspberry Pi will need a process to periodically update my chosen DNS service provider with the IP address allocated by plusnet.

The plusnet Technicolor TG582n does support dynmatic DNS updates. I've got it running fine with dns-o-matic. Various instructions around, but I used https://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=5437&page=1
