@lw 112£ are insane. Is Internet in Britain so expensive or are you paying for a super-mega-fast 2Gbps fiberglass connection (and landline still not included?).

They probably have it somewhere in their ToS where they mention how they immediately charge any service that’s not included in your base tariff. They are just spontaneous and quirky like that.

@6b6279 it's a 1G FTTC business service, that includes two IPv4 /28s and a support team that actually knows what they're doing, which for me, is worth paying for.

i don't mind them taking the payment separately, it just seems weird for them, like, it's creating more work on their end for no apparent benefit.

@lw @6b6279 two /28s is pretty nice! I used to get a /27 for $30/mo

I had a /21 to myself back when I worked at an ISP... I put them all on my firewall at home just so they'd look like they were used and Sprint wouldn't try to take them back (it was part of a delegated allocation and we had fired Sprint as a provider because they were too slow, but somehow kept the IPs...)
