[TriLUG] thinking about RR Biz again.

[Kevin Flanagan]

Greg,


    I do both of those things on standard RR service.  I don't have a
business that demands real uptime, or the like, but for home users it
works just fine.  I know that there are folks on this list who have
scripts that do dynamic DNS updates to places,  I haven't bothered with
it as the IP address has changed on me about 3 times in the 3 years that
I've lived in this house, I just do it by hand.  I do know that there
are scripts to update my DNS provider, zoneedit.com, I'm just lazy.....


    Of course if you are running a biz out of your house that's
different, you would get better customer service response by having that
biz class service.




That's my $.02

Looking at RR's business page (http://www.twcbroadband.com/solutions/promotional.cfm) it seems that in order to get a static IP address I have to go with at least the 3x384 Professional service (3 meg download, 384k upload).  However the way the biz page reads it almost sounds like the professional class is a hosted solution, which I do not want.
