5 Dynamic IPs or 4 Static IPs?

[The Batman]

Hey guys, I'm moving to a new DSL service [fuck you Earthlink] and they're offering 5 Dynamic IPs or 4 Static IPs at the same price. Which should I go for?

 

[XOR != OR]

4 statics. Were this me.

What do you do with your connection?

Er...download everything and anything under the sun. I don't host games, use it as a server, or anything like that. I'm just thinking that the static IPs would be nice when trying to force active connections in DC++ [stuck behind a router].

Statics, no question. If it's a dynamic IP, why bother having more than 1?

4 Static ownes 5 dynamic...and pending on your ip and subnet, you may vlsm those even further

 

[XOR != OR]

Eh, I'd say it doesn't matter. I haven't played with the DC++ client, but I can't believe they'd make you enter in your own IP with the saturation of routers in the market today.

Port forward and be happy. Personally, I'd go for the statics, but I DO run servers and the like.
