Magnet to UPC - and IP Cameras

alastair

Hi,

I'm considering a move from Magnet to UPC (even though I said never again after my NTL telly experience years ago!). My phone quality is just pants and I've never been able to get a couple of IP security cameras to work with my set-up (static IP with local switch and Airport Extreme sharing the public IP).

The prospect of 50 euro 100/7meg broadband (contention ratios notwithstanding) and what can't be worse phone quality make UPC seem like a better option for less outlay.

Has anyone managed to get an IP camera working with UPC's dynamic IP set-up, and what's the general quality of service been like recently (inner city Dublin area - recently upgraded by UPC)?

cheers.

While UPC's IP addresses are technically dynamic, they're pretty sticky, which is very handy for your kind of set up.

I've been with UPC for three years, and my IP has only changed a handful of times.

Cheers - your UPC/Thompson DMZ instructions post is very helpful looking too.

you could also have gone with UPC business and gotten a static ip address.
