Ip address change frequency
I have been with virgin for 12+ years and in that time the IP address has been fairly stable. my best estimate is that it has changed every couple of years. For work I need have my IP address whitelisted to access certain services so the 'semi static' (ie dynamic) has never been an issue however in the last 6 weeks the IP address has changed twice which is becoming a bit inconvenient.
I've spoken to virgins support and they said that the IP address is set to change every 15 days "for security reasons". Does anyone know if this is correct? Is it a new policy? It doesn't sound right.
I realise virgin don't offer fixed IPs on there domestic connections (if they did I'd happily pay) but a new IP every 15 days is going to be unworkable.
Does anybody know anything about this?
