Community Fibre CGNat

my 1gig connection which i ordered and was installed in March doesn't seem to be on CGNAT. I'm hoping because i had my connection installed before they updated before their T's & C's i wont be moved over to CGNAT

I guess the real question will be what happens when fixed contracts come to an end and you renew, potentially haggling against the current price. Would that count as a new customer?

I'm already certain that once my contract ends and if i negotiate a new one that will put me into a new contract and my connection will be CGNAT'd. I've decided provided the increase in price is less that the competition available in my area i won't re-contract and just leave it rolling.

It's what happened to me with EE a few years ago...i negotiated a new deal when my contract came to an end which coincided with RPI & CPI increase and under the new contract terms i lost EU Roaming. My partner didn't negotiate a new deal and has kept her contract rolling she still has EU roaming and can use all her data allowance when in the EU.

I’ll give ZeroTier a try too over the weekend. I’m thinking CF are ahead of the curve with IPv4 exhaustion providing a value for money service and saving money on IPv4 public addresses.
 
All rather disappointing. I was contemplating the 1Gb/s service to get a public IP4 address,

I don’t need 1Gb/s and I really don’t need 3Gb/s but a public IP4 address is useful.

Mercifully my “backup” VDSL connection has one.

Another factor to consider when the Community Fibre contract runs out.

I would pay perhaps £5 a month for a static IP4 address but sadly that isn’t on offer.
 
Same boat as others. To be honest I don't mind going to the 3Gb as it was sort in my plans to do it at some point but I don't like to be pushed like this. I do understand that the 1Gb service at £25 might be unsustainable at that price so removing the public IP gives them some cost savings but they should offer the option for a public IPv4 as an add-on to cater for the advanced user. Doesn't even have to be a fixed IP, most of us have dealt with the dynamic IP issue and these days even dynamic IPs are more or less static since routers are on 24x7. Luckily for me I went for the 24 months plan so I am guessing they won't touch my configuration until I need to renew. I will see what the options are there and then. Like few on this thread I do have a backup connection so I could move my public IP needs to the backup connection but it defeats some of the purpose of having a backup connection...
 
I was just about to push the button on the 1Gb service - but I am trying to understand the impact of the CGNat change by CF. In particular, I utilise the HikConnect app to view my Hikvision CCTV via my phone remotely- would the CGNat mean this would not be possible?

Found out about this the hardway
signed up for hyperfast boost in july 2021 - 24 month contract, this contract ended at around the same time they put all "new" 1gig customers on CGNAT, I'm running some validtor nodes which can nolonger synch with the blockchain as I can't get any inbound peers since being placed on CGNAT, wish some sort of communication was sent out as I have not problem upgrading the 3Gb service, now im waiting for an engineer to confirm booking date for new 3Gb equipment, I have tried using a VPN service a stop gap but its not working so just leaking tokens daily.

So this would confirm that once your contract ends they put you on CG-NAT? - They said on Twitter that past customers would keep static IP's and this only applied to new ones but seems its actually based on the contracts or they made a mistake.

i dont know about static IP's, that service was never offered to me, I have always been on my own dynamic IP (albeit veery sticky) my problem is being an a CG-NAT im now sharing an IP with a load of other customers with no way to forward ports correctly.

I think @theRM changed packages from 800Mbits/sec Hyperfast Boost to the current 1Gbits/sec, hence this upgrade activated a change to CGNAT.

If current non-CGNAT customers don’t change packages or renew contracts then there should not be any loss of the dynamic IPv4. Out of contract prices should be no more than an extra £2/month. However with CPI price increases and renewal offers things get more challenging.
