Get a static IP and improve speed of Vodafone Mobile Broadband
October 5th, 2008
I recently read this blog post, which suggested getting a static IP with vodafone for their HSDPA internet service was a lot of time & hassle. I figured despite that, it was still worth it, and called them:
Me: Hi, I'd like to get a static IP on my account.
Vodafone: Hmm, why do you need this?
Me: Ermm... stuff.
Vodafone: I'll just put you on hold...
[30 seconds pass]
Vodafone: Hi, OK it's done. Enjoy!
Yes, it really is that easy :). Since that time, I've had a static IP, and my signal quality has improved in both places I regularly use the modem (home & work). Before at home I was lucky to hit 100kbytes/sec download (usually 50kbytes/sec or so), now I am consistently above 200kbytes/sec.
