PTCL said that it will offer one IP per connection for now, however, there are chances that PTCL will allow multiple IPs reserved against a single connection in future.

Application or services that require external access such as house or shop monitoring solutions, Virtual Private Networks, Remote access for various systems, Online Games including Play Station & Xbox, IP based CCTV cameras and DVRs etc.
Point of sales softwares for shop, restaurants & super stores. Financial & other licensed application clients that require static IP address for licensing obligation.

what is the advantage of having static IP?
- M.Fahad
  
  put 4 wireless cam in your home , And monitor you home anywhere in the world or just see what’s going on in the house . One good reason to have static ip .

    Static IP not needed for that. Use services like http://dnsdynamic.org/

200 a month is excessive. Especially when on a 4Mbit link you can only upload 50-70 kbyte/sec.

Jab net per online movies dekhtay hain free mai (Mega Video and many others), to wahan per her IP address ke liye ek limited bandwith allow hoti hai. Agar net reconnect karo to normally new IP ki waja se movie restart hojati hai. Static IP mai ye facility to nahi hogi, I think so.

Witribe already gives static IP at PKR 500/YEAR (not per month). Barri meherbani PTCL walon; Pehlay apna internet chala lo sahi tarah, phir commercial apps ka infrastructure banana! :-)

      admin, kia me apny doosry PCs ki bandwidth control kr skta hn is k zaryee?
      q k tplink router static ip recommend krta hai, ta k ip change na ho.
      - Wise Guy
        
        bandwidth control karnay k leya cisco/linksys ka configurable Wifi router use karo
        
        momi
        
        but tplink’s router has an option for controlling bandwidth

        You may use Mikrotik router for this purpose. Its cheap and nice. If you have static IP you may access your system and monitor all users activity from Mikrotik easily.

well, nice step but as beaten by love said, it’s only source of earning for PTCL,it should be given for free.!!

I guess it was already offering static ip :

Static IP is useful for server hosting(http/ftp/mail/CS) but tell me how someone can host server with uplink of 256kbits to 1 Mbits
(+ 300gb data restriction). It is just another trick by PTCL to make profit.

I think this service should be free of charge
- Shahid Saleem
  
  IP addresses (for IPv4) are expensive. That is why they prefer giving dynamic.
  - Muhammad Fawad
    
    They have packets of IPs.
    - Shahid Saleem
      
      You are confusing technology. Packets of IPs???

Kabhi kabhi IP change karna parta hai >_> Can we ask PTCL to give us a new IP or something if we have a static IP?

PTCL is really bad company in pakistan to provide net services, I begged them to kindly take of your router from my home and they really did not ear on that , even it was holy ramdan, they took advantage because they simply send money in bill of phone line, therefore they dont care much about their customer, now i have micronet, best people best service, no problem of any type.

Can someone confirm that LDN has no limit on 2M and 4M packages like PTCL capped 300GB.

Waiting for prompt response.

Thanks
- Asif
  
  There is no cap of download limit on LDN packages. PTCL is skimming out money out of ur pockets.

Old info, I remember back in 2009 this service was available at same rate, I wanted to have a dedicated server for COD4 but then I relied on open DNS .

Well this service should be FREE of cost but PTCL is trying to make more money.

Whats the point of having a static IP when the Upload limit is stricted to 50kb/sec on 4mb internet . The upload will be too slow to host a server.

I wish they could offer more than 1MB upstream on VDSL. But here is something which I would like to show you regarding PTCL Static IPs:

I’m not paying anything for it. If you’re a *nix Administrator & Expert with Cisco VLANs, then forget about paying 200 PKR for Static IPs. Have a look at the screenshots.

By the way, here is my room (in my home) where I’ve setup all this:

Waiting for your comments… :) If anyone need my contact number, let me know.

Thank you,
