| mlppp dynamic.. ip range needs increase The ip range for a dynamic mlppp user is x.x.1.0-x.x.1.255 and then it goes back to x.x.1.0 This range is very small, getting crowded and starting to defeat the purpose of dynamic for some users. Kind of feels like a semi-static dynamic ip with such a small ip range and sequential ip assignment.
Could the TSI team please provide a greater dynamic range and/or more randomness in ip assignment, not just ip assignment in sequential order.
If not ... its ok. Just like the way the old dynamic ip assignment was set up, among various ip ranges. | |

1 edit | Teksavvy has the following large netblocks that can and are used for customer IP addressing.
You will on occasion jump between any of these subnets.
TekSavvy Solutions, Inc. TEKSAVVY (NET-206-248-128-0-1) 206.248.128.0 - 206.248.191.255

Edit:
If there is an IP that is being assigned to you that is blocked on various blacklists, just let Teksavvy know and they can work to get it removed. They have done it for me in the past.
Best of luck! | |

The netblocks aren't that big.
for me its 206.248.128.0-206.248.128.255
Thats only 255 dynamic ip slots that repeat very regularly. | |

| There's nothing "semi-static" about it. Dynamic just means you're not guaranteed to always have the same IP, which is still the case. And aside from evading netblock bans, I don't see how the current setup defeats the purpose of having a dynamic IP. The main reasons people seem to want them (harder to track, easier to escape an attack, scamming services that have per-IP limits) still apply, even if you just get the same IP with the last digit changed. The only exception I can think of is one user who had a pretty extreme corner case.
Besides, allocating fewer IPs than there are users is the main reason ISPs like TekSavvy use dynamic IPs at all. It's really just a throwback to the days when you could allocate 256 IPs for 500 users, knowing they'd never all be online at once (which is likely still the case, although to a much lesser extent). Having to allocate more IPs than there are users is just backwards, especially when they could force you all on static and only have to allocate one IP per user. | |

1 edit | Exactly jat, a dynamic IP just means you don't get a static IP, it doesn't imply anything about how much your IP or subnet will vary.
Again: there are no expectations as to 'how dynamic' your IP will be. The only guarantee is that you well get an IP, it could very well be the same one you just had or the one you had yesterday. We can't help you with your unreasonable expectations.
Think of it like 'renting' anything else: you can pay extra to get the same hotel room/car/pair of bowling shoes every time, but otherwise there are no guarantees about getting or not getting the same or adjacent room/same or similar car/same bowling shoes. (For example if you stunk up the room/car/shoes or got the cops on the trail of that type of car). You get A room/car/pair of shoes and that's all you can expect. | |

| I actually prefer having a dynamic IP!
I change my IP address every 10 or so days, once or twice a month would suffice.
It's part security, part paranoia & part privacy, by changing your IP address it provides gaps in your history.
Your IP address is in essence your Internet fingerprint.
It shows what your doing & where you go.
We know for a fact people, organizations, business & law enforcement use IP addresses to track & monitor individuals.
It's a given someone is monitoring some aspect of your Internet activities. Most of the time it's nothing more than a website you login to that monitors your page views to help them better serve your needs.
The Google's of the world go much farther, they have a vested interest in tracking as much info about your IP address as possible. One of their reasons is to generate revenue through ad sales.
I don't like the idea of being monitored, followed, tracked or stocked. The thought of someone following my car or me walking down the street, is very creepy, it's a very unnerving feeling.
The monitoring & tracking that is possible on the Internet feels much the same way.
So for my own piece of mind, I like to change my IP address from time to time, a small void of missing information, to loose the tail for a short period of time!
Is someone monitoring my IP address beyond the mundane? I have no idea!
One things for sure, if someone is, their job got a whole lot harder! | |

Changing your IP does nothing to protect yourself because ISP's log every IP you had. | |

| Which is why I never mentioned ISP's.
An ISP logs everything you do, got to trust someone right, that's why I'm with TekSavvy!
ISP's like TekSavvy will also delete logs after all data retention obligations are complete.
Law enforcement is also another matter, if they've got a court order, changing IP addresses will hardly help you.

If you want to avoid being tracked by Google and others I suggest NoScript for Firefox. Make sure junk like 'google-analytics.com', 'googleadservices.com' and 'quantserve.com' aren't trusted to run scripts. | |

There's a funny story about Firefox very few have heard.
Mozilla's headquarters (Firefox) as some may not no, is located a couple doors down from Googles headquarters.
Firefox whenever started tries to send a packet to a Mozilla IP address, if you block that IP, Firefox switches to another untill you block them all. That's even with all update features turned off.
When all IP's are finely blocked, Firefox becomes so insistent on sending a packet that it's useable for several minutes!
I switched to Opera about 10 months ago because of this, Opera does a similar packet send whenever you use the "delete private data" feature in the tools menu. Opera's packet sending is easily blocked & doesn't cause any program freezes like Firefox's. | |

I guess this is why it's freezes up for several minutes if I start it when I don't even have access to the internet! (down, not connected, need login)
Oh wait no it doesn't, I can access my router's page or a login page right away.

It's also the most accurate, too!
Think about it, your car can get stolen just as easily at home as it can be at work (assuming both are parked out in the open and not in garages). But if you move it... well... an idiot won't be able to steal it because it's not where he's looking! Of course, if you didn't leave your keys in the ignition, an idiot wouldn't be able to steal it in the first place...
Just like how you add security by changing your IP address. An idiot won't be able to hack what he can't find. Of course, if you're vulnerable to idiots in the first place, you have more serious problems to deal with first. | |

No, it would be pointless as they use autodialers. Also, I enjoy using your tax dollars to get the CRTC involved with these idiots (Looks like enough people did that that the CRTC passed some new pathetically weak legislation the other year).
Of course, I don't give my number out to morons in the first place. And if they have it, it's because I didn't say the magic words when they called:
"Provide me with my customer information if I am a previous customer of yours and an address I may write to permanently close my account." If yes, I cancel any and all accounts with that company. I do it by letter so their managers know how much telemarketing is costing them. MBNA was one of these companies, I wrote them telling them to delete my account or stop themselves and all the idiots they sold my name to to stop calling me--their choice. I have never, ever received a single call from them since (I guess they like making $$$ after all!). TD was another. Unlike MBNA, TD decided it was easier to forgo my business so I now have a free EeePC courtesy of RBC and 1/3 interest rates on all my credit accounts and I will never be going back.
Otherwise, if they can't figure out a way they are related to you (The CRTC really does allow six degrees of separation, it's crazy how hard they will work to try to prove you're a customer so they can ignore your complaints):
"I require your identification, your company name and the name of your client company soliciting this call [16] along with the local or toll free [20] fax and phone number which I may call to ensure I have been added to your do not call list [17]. I also require the name and address to which I may write your company to verify my addition to your do not call list [17]. Add me to your do not call list and your client's do no call list now [18]."
I've [noted] the appropriate paragraphs of the rules and regulations that require compliance. Print the scripts off and put them by your phone. You want to stop telemarketing? Make them play by the rules. Make them take several minutes to find all this crap so you waste their time. Make them hang up to keep up their AHT before they give you the info so you can report them. Force the CRTC to respond by spoonfeeding them everything so they don't have an excuse to tell you to go away. You pay taxes that pay for them for a reason.
»www.crtc.gc.ca/ENG/INFO_SHT/t1030.htm
»www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/trules-reglest.htm#part3
Or, when it's an international call (I have NOBODY that calls me internationally, apart from one number which I know well) and therefore not within CRTC jurisdiction, I answer "Private Emergency Services [27], please state the nature of the emergency!" followed by "Calling emergency services for the purposes of solicitation is not legal. I will assume this was a mistake. Remove this number from your list immediately. *click*" Usually works pretty well, even international lawless places know that eventually calling numbers like these too often makes bad things happen. "Private" is important, you don't want to get confused with actual 911 service.
Not surprisingly, if you bitch enough at the CRTC you find out they actually have no anti-telemarketing procedure and start coming up with bizarre ideas. The last one involved them requiring me to get my phone provider (Virgin Mobile, at the time) to tell the telemarketer to stop calling. Of course they didn't know what the hell was going on, but when they chatted with the CRTC and found that's what the CRTC wanted, I got a letter OVERNIGHTED from them stating that they still don't know why they are involved but that since the CRTC requested it they've called the telemarketer and I won't be called anymore.
