3bb - true- tot - IP address changing daily, why ?

[bangkokairportlink]

hello,

 

Do you know why 3bb, true, and tot, all home internet, change their ip address everyday ?

 

Thank you.

Dynamic IP. You would need to pay more for Static.

Keep your router switched on to keep it as long as possible.

Normal, not only in Thailand.

They don't give static IPs on cheap household plans.

Many countries Internet give static IPs for $30/month (price for the whole Internet package).

 

It costs nothing to the ISP company to give you a static IP. They just all are robbers !

As I understand it, the reason is to keep those with the personal lower cost plans from using the connection for a website - thus the periodic change.  With a static IP address, it doesn't change and can be used for a website, e.g. for a business or organization. If you want the connection for that purpose, you pay more to get the static IP address.  I use CAT as my provider and they, like the others,  periodically change the IP address.

Subscribe to a service like no-ip.com or many others like this. This will take the pain out of the IP changes, since they will maintain a mapping of your private hostname to the current active IP. They do a good job in publishing changes to the name servers around the world. And there are free plans for this service...

3bb wants ฿1000 a month extra for a static IP. 

To see my security cameras I need to remote in to my pc, get the IP and put it in my remote camera viewing app. 

 

I tried an an app (Mr.IP) which was supposed to email me the IP every time it changed but it never worked properly.

I am surprised you never had a power outage? Must not live in Bangkok. Or an expensive backup power supply.

DHCP - A bit like hot desking when they don't have enough to lay idle and unused.

Hello,

 

Can you tell me if its easy to build ? Any internet website ?

 

Or the shop where I could buy the batteries knows how to build this ?

 

Thank you for your help.

extremely easy to build! anybody can assembly it in minutes. what you need is an inverter with integrated charger and a battery (or more).

-connect battery plus and minus with cables to inverter,

-plug inverter into into electrical outlet

and

-plug whatever you want to buffer in case of power cut into outlet of

 inverter.

-the inverter switches automatically to battery power when a power cut or a brown-out happens. our PCs and TVs don't even blink when switching.

note: power supply time depends on size (capacity) and number of batteries and of course how much electricty is drawn.

caveat:

-depending on distance between battery and inverter cable diameter is important. a car electric shop can help you.

-normal (unsealed) car batteries need installation with ventilation! if you live in a flat a balcony will do.

 

questions?

You wouldn't get an IP change under those conditions except for when the signal is lost and then reconnected with a new IP. Happens to me all the time on true. They fail to keep a connection for more than a few hours. They lose it, then remake it a few minutes later. They keep checking it but fail in fixing it.

 

Look at your router logs. They should tell you what is going on.
