My recent changeover between Zen and Newnet was exactly like you said, Neil - I put in a new user name / password and was immediately online again. I was very impressed and as I had had expected problems. Apart from if you have a static IP, what else can cause issues ? Also, excuse my ignorance, but, what are the benefits of having a static IP ? I could have had one with Newnet but, would have had to pay a little extra for it ? thanks Viv On Tue, 2007-10-16 at 17:31 +0100, Neil Williams wrote: > On Tue, 16 Oct 2007 17:15:49 +0100 > Neil Winchurst <neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > If I decide to move to another ISP for my broadband service, will I > > need to make any changes to my router?
