Webafrica + Fibre Geeks - Constant IP Changes

[PsYTraNc3]

Hi,
I know that I have a home connection with a dynamic IP that will change but with Webafrica, it seems very excessive and I was wondering if anything can be done about it or if it's an ISP issue or FNO.

I recently moved to a new home where FibreGeeks are the FNO with a limited amount of ISP's on their network.
Where I was previously, I had a different ISP and FNO and as long as my connection stayed up while running on UPS backup during load shedding, not once did my IP change.

Now, I have backup and can confirm that my devices remain powered, the FNO's POP is less than 300m from my house and they have a generator so my connection stays up.
Still, I see my IP changing sometimes more than once a week which is crazy.

I work with certain connections that are better accessed via whitelisting my public IP vs going via a VPN so I end up having to constantly update rules.

Would this be a Webafrica issue?
In which case, I will definitely look at getting a different ISP.

Cron --> Check IP --> If changed call cloud provider API --> Update SG

OR pay for a static IP.

I doubt you've got much choice otherwise.

I am the cloud provider and update my IP when needed but never had to do it this often with the old ISP.
Just wanted to check if it's only Webafrica that forces a change so often.

I was with CISP before (Not available on the new FNO) and never had my IP change

I'm glad to hear that as I moved to CISP now (after having a nice stable IP from Afrihost). Good luck!
