Maybe yours does, but that's not universal in the slightest
I was talking about ipv4 addresses. There is no interner service provider that I'm aware of that gives non-business customers static ipv4 addresses.
I have a shitty $30 spectrum plan in NY and my IP hasn't changed in 2 years. From what I understand, they don't reserve it, but they don't change it either
yeah, my IP changed once in 5 years or so.
Dynamic yes, objecting to 24h. Many places keep the same dynamic address for months or years
I had 65.25.55.55 for over two years, even after multiple router reboots. It took a modem upgrade to lose me my address.
That the address is dynamic does not imply it changes every 24 hours.
Didnt realize that they dont do this everywhere.
