Static IP 'lost'

[#1]

After rebooting my modem/router this morning I have lost my static IP address. It has been fine for the 2-1/2 year I have had it.

How can I get it back please ?

(support is hopeless - nearly 1 hour wait on the phone and no way to raise a ticket)

@Peterworks The agents answering the phones will most likely have no idea what you are talking about. Static IPs are no longer an option to acquire, and they have no training about them.

I can't recall which of the remaining old timers can sort this - maybe @Baldrick1  or @Townman  / @MisterW  have better memory's?

Hey @dave another lost static IP address to recover !. 

Have you identified why this keeps happening ?, and is the broken process fixable ?

[#4]

If they can't fix it can I have my five pounds back ?

[#5]

@Peterworks It is fixable - by he right people.

[#6]

It should be fixable by support.

AIUI there is an 'Albert' process to refresh/reconfigure the static IP component.

However, It is strange for the static to just disappear unless there are other changes to the account!

@Peterworks has anything else changed e.g a re-contract ? 

[#7]

@MisterW I thought ALBERT  was supposed to have the answer, too.

[#8]

@MisterW  I have made no changes to the account and my contract runs till the end of the year.

Whether Plusnet in their wisdom have done 'something' I am not sure but looking at my account all seems to be the same.

Can you please advise where I can go from here ?

Wait for @dave to take a look, he is the expert on this issue.
