Most customers can use their Zzoomm broadband as normal without needing a static IP. However, some work systems, VPNs, security cameras, servers, or smart home setups may work better when your connection has a fixed IP address.
Why choose a static IP?
A static IP gives your broadband connection a fixed public IP address that does not usually change. This can make it easier for certain services to recognise and connect to your home network.
- Work VPNs: Some employers need your connection to come from the same fixed IP address each time.
- Remote access: A static IP can help if you need to connect to devices at home while you are away.
- Security cameras and smart devices: It can make remote access to compatible home devices more reliable.
- Hosting services: It can help if you run a small server or other service from home.
- More control: A static IP gives you a consistent address for services that need one.
If you need a static IP, we offer this as an additional service for just £5 per month. You can find out more about our Static IP service here. here
