Excitel Broadband providing static IP for 1000 rupees per year?

[Sushubh]

that was my need. having ability to access pi outside my house would be wonderful. i originally needed it for cctv. but realized that most companies already support access through proxies. hikvision and cp plus apps both seem to work fine. i applied for static on airtel mostly for cctv. yet to check if i can get it to work with excitel. that would be very nice if i can get it to work.

Yeah, even I need for the same purpose, even I've asked my local guy for it, let's see what he tells. One of my friend uses DigitalOcean 5$ droplet for a static ip(VPN). He gets nice speeds, and hosts a couple of services (including plex I guess)

All those looking for static ip in delhi/ ncr might consider querying triple play for the same. Regarding user experience, I would rate it at par with excitel.

I need static IP for:

• NAS/media center
• pihole
• openvpn server
• security cameras
• home automation

So after a lot of effort, my local cable isp gave me a static ip for 500, for about an year!!

 

[NATsePareshaan]

wow, are you able to port forward now?

Yeah, of course. But making the lco understand what static ip is, was a bit cumbersome! He finally gave the static after a lot off efforts as this was the first demand his customers have made

I think if u ask your lco guy instead of excitel, he might just be able to give you

That accessing home server can be done with noip, really don't see much of an advantage for static IP here.

That can be possible if u receive a dynamic ip( from bsnl/airtel) , which is open to internet. Excitel and other lco use cgnat, so u get an ip which is not pingable (no incoming connection). thats why u need a static for accessing ur home devices from the internet
