Do Orcon provide static IPs?

Their helldesk said they don't do static IPs on anything, and you
can't even pay extra for them, but I've got a feeling I talked to a
n00b and he was only guessing.

Does anyone here know?

Same here - Orcon can't advertise (and don't guarantee) that IP
addresses on some of their plans are static, but mine has never changed
(Advance 40).

And same here too. I've only ever had two IP addresses with them in 2
years and the only reason it changed was when I moved house.

They used to provide them - the 2 I got set up about 3 years ago have
been static the whole time.

Yes, they are static.

Just to clarify:

We do not guarantee that your IP is static, and reserve the right to
change it without notice. However, you are assigned an IP address and
it is very unlikely that this will change. There are a couple of
situations where your IP may change (for instance if you change plan).
For most peoples purposes the IP address will be static (i.e. so long
as it is a mission critical if your IP was to change you should be
fine).

Hope this helps.
