static / public ip

[mancombseepgood]

what's the best (cost effective vs performance) way to get a static / public ip? i am currently on telkom 3gig 512k. Any good services out there?

SofarasIknow, only IS is offering static IP's on ADSL connection's at the moment.

But - methinks me saw something somewhere about SAIX doing it ...

It looks like

... i can get it for around R1500 pm - mostly from IS resellers from what I gather. Anyone else have any other suggestions?

i think datapro can give you a static ip as well, but I found their service to suck

do you need a static IP or will a DNS do? if so then http://www.dyndns.com will work

I second viceroy ... i have been using dyndns for years now, and they rock!

Yeah... I have used Dyndns but...

I am having problems accessing my PCs from other countries - e.g. Zambia, USA, etc. Is this possibly something to do with the IP address SAIX assigns being internal to ZA? (165.146.x.x) Any help would be appreciated. It's also possible that my netgear WG602 (which I used to like) may be having problems reverse NATing. Is the 165.146.x.x net available internationally?

Nope, my brother connects to my pc from the UK
