Capped connectivity solutions are usually based on dynamic IP addressing, which means that a computer is assigned a different IP address each time it connects to the Internet. This “dynamic” addressing is convenient in that it allows mobile computers to move between different networks more easily.

With a fixed IP address, however, the same IP address is assigned every time. This enables a computer to be more reliably reached over the network by its host/domain name.

Using static IP addressing for devices on a network helps to avoid potential conflicts. For example, dynamic naming protocols sometimes supply an address that has already been assigned statically elsewhere.

• Each MWEB Business Fixed IP ADSL service includes five static IP addresses. These enable you to set up your own servers, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), web cameras and other Internet tools for your business
• Once you reach your cap your bandwidth will be slowed to 256kbps but not cut off, thus allowing you to continue accessing both local and international data
• Five static (fixed) IP addresses, which avoids the limitations normally associated with dynamic IP addresses, such as difficulties with remote access set-up
• The ability to host servers and deploy a VPN connection
• Unshaped bandwidth (no prioritisation of certain types of traffic)
• A low contention ratio (guaranteed limited number of users on the line at any one time)
• Use of a business class router (compulsory) worth R3 999.
• Subject to signing a 12 or 24 month contract.
• A 2GB mailbox, 300Wi-Fi minutes and unlimited fax mail accounts (inbound)
• 24/7 Onsite or remote technical service and support at no extra charge
• Notification of downtime
• Monitoring features to keep track of your usage via NMS notifications (Network Management System) and MRTG graphs (Multi Router Traffic Grapher)
