Anybody on the list subscribed to Ziply Fiber?
Keith, I do.
Does Ziply offer fixed IP addresses at the lower bandwidth tiers? Perhaps for an extra fee, or a business account?
When Aracnet/SpiritOne suddenly died I signed up for fiber from Verizon. Because my account is for a business, not residence (although I work from home) I was given a fixed IP address for an additional $10/month. While the IP address changed when Frontier Communications bought Verizon, and again when ZiplyFiber bought Frontier, I still have a static IP address and assume I'm still paying extra for it. Perhaps Ziply will provide a static IP address for a residence; ask them.
Other Ziply kudos or complaints?
I have no complaints about Ziply, only very good experiences. Last year I decided to change the business landline from POTS to VoIP. When a Ziply tech came out to look at the situation we discussed my needs. He recommended a speed upgrade from 50/5 to 100/100. When he returned he replaced the fiber/copper box on the outside wall with their latest model, brought the fiber inside to my office (the former living room), and added their brand-new model router configured for only the telephone. No more fax because I won't buy a VoIP-capable fax machine. I'm saving $30/month from the POTS bill. HTH, Rich
