Hello, I used to see Web Africa sell static IP addresses, but that no longer seems to be the case.

I am looking for a ISP that gives static IP addresses on VDSL, anyone know which ones sell it?
 
Do you have a use case that specifically needs a static IP?
For home use a dynamically updating A Name is more than enough. I use a script and host DNS with CloudFlare. All I pay for is the domain name.
 
Remote MySQL and AWS services.

Dammit, I really wish I was just "missing" the option on Web Africa somewhere, such a schlep to move ISPs

Web Africa Uncapped Pro have static IPs and so does Vox Fat Pipe Business accounts.
 
Dammit.

Dear <my_name>,

Thank you for your email, we are not providing static IP address

Thank you for your patience.

Kind Regards,

No clue, that is the email I got just now when I emailed them with the subject: "Can you hook me up with a Static IP please"

Why don't they provide it? I don't know much about it but surely it shouldn't be too complicated?

Any way I can use my MikroTik to "mask" the behavior of a static IP?

The biggest requirement is the remote MySQL, I can enter a fully qualified domain name into AWS and I have 100s of domains to use.

Perhaps, @IOPS you can give me the rundown on how to use NO-IP? I have never used a dynamic IP service.
 
Boom :)

Code: 
##############Script Settings##################

:local NOIPUser "no-ip.com LOGIN"
:local NOIPPass "no-ip.com PASSWORD"
:local WANInter "MikroTik Router WAN Interface Name"

###############################################

:local NOIPDomain "$NOIPUser.no-ip.org"
:local IpCurrent [/ip address get [find interface=$WANInter] address];
:for i from=( [:len $IpCurrent] - 1) to=0 do={
  :if ( [:pick $IpCurrent $i] = "/") do={
    :local NewIP [:pick $IpCurrent 0 $i];
    :if ([:resolve $NOIPDomain] != $NewIP) do={
      /tool fetch mode=http user=$NOIPUser password=$NOIPPass url="http://dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update\3Fhostname=$NOIPDomain&myip=$NewIP" keep-result=no
      :log info "NO-IP Update: $NOIPDomain - $NewIP"
     }
   }
}
 
On the other side of that coin, is there any ISP that offers a dynamic IP over Vuma's Network? For the brief period I had a Fibre service with them, I could not change my IP.
