They pay for 5 static ip addresses. In 2 months VZ has only changed them
once.
They cannot explain why they changed and they would not change them back
either.
Only took VZ 2 days to fix.
I don't get how this happened to your customer. Our IP's come with a default
reverse DNS of static-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.phlapa.fios.verizon.net. I found it odd
it wasn't subnetted and they said I just had the next 4 IP's (we took the
full 5) counting up from the one they assigned me. They statically configured
the IP in the router, no DHCP is being run. As others have said, you can use
whatever you want as a router... what you probably want to do is connect the
FIOS into a switch and then from that switch plug in your public accessible
servers. ex. 1 IP/port for your office router, 1 IP/port for your web
server, etc.
There was no dhcp involved. The circuit just stopped working. The customer
thought it was a VZ problem, resolvable by VZ so they did not contact me. By
the end of the first day they decided they should call.
Once I was on site and comparing the ip address the tech was trying to use
with the 5 I had, showed the problem immediately. The next problem was they
could not re-provision the old ip addresses or for that matter 5 new ones until
the next day. It only took them until late morning to provision 5 new ones.
The old ones were gone. To date, I still do not know why they messed with the
account in the first place.
I just noticed they're offering a 5mbit down / 5mbit up plan with a * that
says more IP's can be requested upon demand.
Has anyone seen any pricing on them??
Regards,
Tom
