BE Broadband Statement

We realise this is an inconvenience, and so will be doing our utmost to minimise any impact this could have on service. ... However, to make things as straightforward as possible, as the migration takes place we’ll be supporting both new and ‘old’ static IP addresses for 30 days, allowing everyone plenty of time to make the move when their turn comes.

We’ll also be changing the way we provide static IP addresses, bringing us in line with industry best practice and helping those customers who choose to source and configure their own routers (for static IP address-holders with our own BE Box, however, we’ll be deploying a firmware upgrade.).

Following the completion of the project, anyone ordering a single or multiple static IP address as part of their BE broadband package will be assigned with blocks conforming to the correct subnet size, accessed through the WAN IP on their router, and in blocks of one, six and 14 addresses.

There’ll be no change to our current pricing, however, with an allocation of six being priced the same as the current four, and 14 the same price as the existing block of 16; those customers currently using either four or eight addresses will have their allocation changed to six and for those using 16 the allocation will be reduced to 14.
