Plusnet Changing my Static IP on Fibre

They have sent an email saying they will be giving me a new static IP. I have had the same IP for over 10 years. Why would they do this? Has anyone else had this? No problems with my service..speeds, connectivity etc all been very good since install.

Re: Plusnet Changing my Static IP on Fibre

i haven't had anything like that.. I've had the same IP for a good while too!
Wonder if it will be rolled out across the board..

Re: Plusnet Changing my Static IP on Fibre

did they email you saying?
Also is there a pattern in IP range? for those who've had this message. I've had nothing - fingers crossed  Smiley
@Halfchan what IP range are you on?
@feersum and what ip range you on?
Thanks

Re: Plusnet Changing my Static IP on Fibre

Hi guys.
We're currently tidying up our IP address ranges as there's just around 2000 of our customers using nearly 20000 of our IP addresses.
Any gaps in a particular range will take ages to fill up with customers using static IP's.
As a result anyone with a static IP address in a range that's scarcely populated will be moved to a different static IP address.
This will free up more ranges that we can give to our customers.
If there's any further questions let me know.

I hope the reallocation is going to also update any DNS or rDNS entries the users may have.

No that's not one of the ranges we're looking at in this moment in time

Difficult for us to make that decision when you haven't told us which IP ranges are affected!  Huh
