Failure Type : Information
Problem Description : Changes on ADSL Network Impact : n/a Time Down : 18 Oct, 2006 at 12:35:00 (SAT) Time Up : None Sites : ADSL Services Affected : ADSL Update Description : As a result of the ADSL growth & new services, Telkom will start implementing a new range of IP addresses for ADSL users. The IP address blocks will be as follows:

165.165.0.0/16 - Current

41.243.0.0/16 - New
41.244.0.0/16 - New

huh? they currently have 262k IP's and they're getting more, so they are probably close to exceeding the present limits.

you must remember that some people make multiple connections on one adsl line so that does not necessarily mean we have that many users.. at the same time not everyone remains connected 24hrs a day with a router.
 
Ive actually been connected 24hours day for a while now and last 2 or 3months ive had a static ip the entire time, so much easier without having to update dns to nameservers for domain name...

Click to expand...

Does that mean that if someone makes more than one account connection (using a different account [i.e. different username and password] in each instance) via the same ADSL line at the same time he will get a different IP address for each connection?

Rather post your replies to this question in this thread http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?p=712730#post712730 as I do not want to hijack this one, thanks.

41.240.0.0 - 41.247.255.255
