Lately » Rogers Cable
Oh man, this is what I received today from my ISP:
Rogers Cable is making changes to its high-speed Internet service over the next few weeks. This transition is part of Rogers' commitment to take greater responsibility for the operation and management of our high-speed network. These changes will result in a better service, including for example, Web-based Email giving you Email access from anywhere in the world. Details on additional improvements to our high-speed service will be available over the coming months. To make these improvements, the following services will be affected during the transition: Email, Newsgroups, WebSpace, Member Services as well as the Excite for Rogers @Home start page.
I already expected Rogers to go its own way after the recent bad news about Excite@Home. Reading the FAQ page, there is one thing that I really dislike here:
The Rogers Internet network is dynamically based; static IP addresses are not issued. Your IP address can potentially be different every time you connect.
I want one IP like it has always been!
IE troubles again.
A newly reported vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Explorer allows hackers to steal or corrupt cookie information on a user's desktop through a malformed URL at a Web site or in an HTML e-mail.

My ISP (Cogeco) did the same thing two weeks ago and I lost my webspace, got new e-mail which rarely works, and customer support which doesn't answer questions.
IP address: it's always been dynamic (DHCP) but we always get same IP when connecting because not many users do it at the same time.
Oh, you can check when your IP is set to expire in DOS: netconfig -all
Mine is 7 days.. and I've had it for months.

Looks like ours is 7 days as well, but lasts for months. I only hope, nothing will change.
