Changing my service from Cable to Fios finally. Here's my question for people that have fios already. Does the public IP Address Change often. I have a VPN to my office and when I was on DSL it would change every day.
I can change the settings in my ip phones to get off the VPN but I also do web programming and I know Port 80 is not open at my office side.
Any info would be helpful

Order Static IP's it can't be that much more. A block of 5 here is maybe $10 a month?

I've got FIOS and while I don't know - I'll check over the next few days.

Thanks Sam, Please get back to me.
Thanks Steve but it looks like they want almost 40.00 extra a month for a static IP. They said I had to change to business class. Didn't really talk to the Fios agent to much about. For 10 bucks I would in a heart beat.

Tony -
I got the IP address now. I'll check it twice a day for the next few days and let you know.

TY, I've been on Fios all day and it the best thing since sliced bread. It's like this.
Remember dial-up, and then you got cable modem. It's like that step from dial-up to cable modem. Now it's cable modem to FIOS.
I'm getting 23 Meg down and 13 up. So glad it came available. Hope the IP doesn't change.

I would have gotten/tried fios in my area if it was available but it wasn't. Very interested to see how well it works. Maybe in a year or two it will be available here. In the meantime we have dedicated 5-mb fiber pulled into the business.

have a bunch of customers with hosted voip running on Fios. The fios they put into a business is light years (no pun ) ahead of cable modem in my area, as discussed on here a million times before, it not just fios having greater bandwidth but that its latency is way more reliable than cable.

Yep, over here we switched from cable to FIOS in the office. We are saving money and are getting way faster and better service.
I also have FIOS at home for TV and internet. I love it, it really is great service. I have had satellite, cable, and just antenna and FIOS is by far the best service. In three years it has only been down once, and after a router reset all was good.

at the end of the day, the fios unit they install in your comms room looks every bit "carrier class" VZ have effectively pulled their backbone into your business.
compare that to running your business voice & data thru a little Motorola box hooked up to coax from basically a TV company that now pretends to be a "Carrier"
