Comment on finally got static IP from a new ISP

The excuse I got last time was that, due to a power outage where I live, they lost the configs in the splitter box near me. That didn’t fill me with confidence and you’re probably very correct that whatever they’re doing is very dumb and or incompetent.

That’s a good thinker. I imagine their backup of the configs got fucked by whatever caused the issue. IIRC most competent ISPs will have the configs saved in multiple locations,the question is usually if they were updated ever. 😂
