fibre broadband ip address not dynamic

I have fibre broadband to the cabiunet but in the help files it says you have a dynamic IP address but yet when i turn my router off and on again no matter how long i leave it on the ip never changes any ideas?

Re: fibre broadband ip address not dynamic

Hi there,

Dynamics IPs are allocated from a small pool specific to your location so they’re rather ‘sticky’ which means the odds you’ll get the same IP following rebooting your router are high. 

Switching your router off for 65 minutes may do the trick although I can’t guarantee that. Is there any reason you’re wanting a new IP?

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.
