It was thus said that the Great Bruce Lane once stated:
Finally, tack on $15/mo for a private block of eight static IP's. Three
are reserved to be the network, gateway, and broadcast addresses for my
subnet (I'm subnetted off a class A block), and five are user-definable,
function-wise. Subtract one more for the router interface, and that leaves
me four usable.
Um, isn't the gateway the same as the router interface? I have a similar
set up (subblock of 8, one network, one broadcast, one for gateway/router,
leaving me five to play with).
Total: A little under $80/month for everything, and
that includes a
guaranteed data rate of 256K down (I get 384 during rainy weather, and 512K
during dry), and 272K up.
If anyone knows of another ISP that can give me my own subnet for
$50/month or less, and equivalent bandwidth, please say so. ;-)
Try Velotel (http://www.velotel.com/). $65/month gets you DSL (guarenteed
speed dependant upon distance from CO) and 5 static IP addresses, no
restrictions on what you run over your connection.
