From: Alvin Starr via Talk <talk@lists.gtalug.org> I also use Teksavvy and have a static IP address. Teksavvy will also route a subnet to you if you wish. Very interesting.
I have Teksavvy ADSL on Bell copper at another site. I have a static IP address and run my mail server on it at the moment.
I used to have a similar setup at home, with Vybe Networks, but Bell recently accidentally broke it and refuses to repair it (my phone-on-copper line went too but a few weeks earlier). Long, stupid, painful story.
Will Teksavvy do static IPs on Bell fibre? That I am not sure of. I did not know that they could even provision anything on bell fibre. I thought Bell was keeping their fibre all locked up and away from any kind of wholesale program.
It's news to me that Teksavvy would route a subnet. I have globally assigned /24 that Vybe advertised and routed for me. Teksavvy would not do that when I talked to them about 5 or so years ago.
Maybe Teksavvy will only route a subnet that they suballocate and rent to you. /24 is the smallest subnet that can be globally routed. It was their address space they were selling. When I was buying my fixed address I remember seeing pricing for very small subnets like /20 or smaller.
When I had iplink.net we would route peoples /24. Not sure if the current owner will still do that.
