I can only find the service offered by Internet Solutions (uncapped business dsl). Does anyone know of ISPs that offer fixed IPs with ADSL products?

DynDNS will not be sufficient. Come on guys, help a noob and save money tomorrow.
 
MWeb offered this before, at previous employment we had a Telkom line with MWeb uncapped ADSL line with static IP address. Try their business dept.
 
Stay away from SAOL.........

Please do me a favor and stay away from SAOL.

For the month of June we were up a total of 9 days and SAOL just blame Telkom even though All other routers work on the connection Except their router. They also refuse to end the 24 month contract on the bases that they are not delivering the product as stated in the contract because it is a Telkom Fault.
The best of all is that per contract THEY are the owner of the ADSL Port....

Even when the ADSL connection is active the VPN over witch they provide the service is mostly down. When you report it it miraculously comes back up and they reply saying that there is nothing fault on their side. When they tested it they could log in to the router....

So PLEASE stay away from them!!!!!! They aint willing to admit to faults in their service/product.

:mad:


PS. This is on a 384 Business DSL package with Static IP's

We are running our Uncapped via Mweb and have had really good service from them so far. Just to make it clear that all Uncapped solutions is just a IS product that companies are re-selling.
 
The SAOL service is a 15Gb CAPPED solution with Static IP's running over their own infrastructure.

If only it was an IS solution....

Then at least we might have had hope......
Also be carefull, in the SAOL contract they state they give you a Cisco router but afterwards they refuse to supply it because it has been "discontinued" due to stability issues and are "inferior" to the Billion 7402R2. The Cisco model they are refering to has been discontinued in 2004 already according to Cisco so no wonders there on the stability issues ......
 
MTN Business (ex Verizon) offers it too.. You need a Cisco or Billion router that Johan449 referred to.

But they charge you R250/month for a realm.. (you can create multiple accounts under 1 realm like a reseller type of setup). Then you can also request a fixed IP for another R250/month. They only have 2 types of accounts (AFAIK); local only for 2c/mb & 8c/mb for unshaped international.

The reason you need the specific routers is MTN / SAOL / IS all use Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). You get a normal ADSL dynamic IP and then they create a tunnel over that link which they assign the static IP.

We don't get speeds greater then 1Mb/s when we use tunnelling (over a 4Mb/s line).
 
The Mweb static IP I can get up to 3MB/s sometimes and they also use tunneling.
 
Hi this Johan449 guy is talking *****, i have 4 uncapped accounts with SAOL and very rarely have a problem. I had a Cisco router and did change it for a Billion which i personally think works much better.

What line speeds did you get? It appears as though they only have 1024K
