Static IP for Karoo packages 1 to 3

[marko]

I'm on option 4 but asked them to cap my speed not long after moving onto max (Around December last year) because of bad dc problems. They capped my speed to 3meg and I've had a stable connection ever since. Which is more than I can say about the speed. I average around 1500kb/s but on good days I get around 2500kb/s. I had problems for a couple of weeks after Karoo had their routing problem which saw my speeds drop to between 500 - 700kb/s. Needless to say, I was straight on the phone asking them to get it sorted.

Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 448 / 2,752
 
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 11.5 / 16.5
 
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 25.5 / 38.0
 
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 23.0 / 11.0

If it wasn't for the static IP on option 4, I'd have dropped to option 1.

Marko,
can you not drop to option 1 and use http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/ with a client to get a domain name?

Hmm, Interesting. I'm not very technical really, I just know the basics. Why I choose to have a static IP address is because I play an online speedway game where other players enter my server via posting my IP address (It's a pain using a floating one).

Would  Dynamic DNS work for this? If so, I'll certainly look into it when my option 4 contract is up in December.

Thanks, Dylan!

Hi Marko...
Yes in effect, as long as you have a client that updates dyndns with your new IP each time it changes...
http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/windows.html
or you could use this page:
http://www.hullvikings.com/ip.php
to find out your IP address before you play..



or...
There may well be an option in your router settings to update dyndns as well?

All you have to do is then give them an address e.g. http://marko.dyndns.org (which i have just clicked on and found is taken...!)

I use no-ip.com, used it for years, I refuse to give KCOM any "extra" income. I'd move to sky broadband in an instant. No-ip allows me to run it as a win service service so once its done I can forget about it.

Karoo has done nothing but dissapoint me for as long as i can remember, The whole situation stinks (sorry for the rant lol)
