Re: [TCLUG:14977] pseudo static ip

Cool! So, is Visi the one who would give you the static IPs in your
situation? I am curious because I am looking into possibly getting this
after I move. Is the "static" IP address they talk about here really
static, or is it "really close to static"? I really want to know what I
would be buying for the extra $14.00 a month.

never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable
are arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent.
