I'm not ' really bothered' about tracking. then you're probably much better off relying on a VPN or something like noscript.
If you're really bothered about tracking etc. The way it was implemented is awfully, and largely pointless As for the EU Cookie directive - that should have been dumped a long time ago IMO. Personally, I think the security/privacy benefit of a dynamic IP over static is negligible. I've never tried changing the MAC with Plusnet until now because restarting the router would always force the IP change.Īs above. Pipex, Demon, Be Broadband and BT.Įven if BT has worked like that in the past, I know for a fact that parts of their network don't any more. This has worked with every ISP I've used over the past decade. Why doesn't changing the router's MAC address force it anyway?īecause MAC address assignment has little to no influence on the way our RADIUS platforms assign IPs. The IP assignment is also 'stickier', making much of what said correct. However the blocks you're assigned IP's from are less varied on the new network. It has still been allocated from the same subnet (51.9.0.0/16) but it has changed.Įvery disconnection you've forced since 25th April has been for a matter of minutes before re-establishing a connection. Looking over your connection logs for the last month, on the occasions you've left it for hours, your IP has changed. I left it off for hours but it made no difference.
