| 91061 | 2002-10-20 05:01:00 | too true. My requirements are, 100% connection for my home business without being disrupted by people wanting to use the phone, speed is not a issue (but always good) as I am browsing mainly. Cheap as possible. JetStart looks good but can businesses use this? I am not sure of the fixed IP issue is, please help. ta. |

| 91062 | 2002-10-20 05:05:00 | Jetstream Starter (Jetstart) sounds ideal - it's technically not for business use under Telecom's conditions, but running it from home would allow you to get away with it. You can't have a fixed IP with the service, but I doubt you'd need one from what you've said | Greg S (201) | ||
| 91063 | 2002-10-20 05:06:00 | if its at home why go business plans?? unless you already pay business rates on the telephone of course. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 91064 | 2002-10-20 05:09:00 | I believe it would be a tax right-off if you connect under a business plan, although I am not sure. Does anyone know? So whats a fixed IP address? why do u need it? what is the alternative? | nzwalkabout (299) | ||
| 91065 | 2002-10-20 05:39:00 | I run a business from home and use Jetstream Starter. Telecom allow this, plus a second line at home rates. You will be pushed to find a better way I think. | godfather (25) | ||
| 91066 | 2002-10-20 05:55:00 | Re the tax write-off, ANY expenditure that is business related is tax deductible, it matters not if its a domestic plan or otherwise. I claim a portion of the domestic phone as it is used for business. You MUST see an accountant to sort all this out. |

| 91067 | 2002-10-20 06:28:00 | Forget about the fixed IP. Whenever you connect to the Internet your ISP allocates your computer an address in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx is a number from 0 - 255 - this is simply so that you can actually send and receive stuff over the Internet - think of it like a street address, but for computers. This number is almost always different everytime you connect, but a fixed IP allocated to you from your ISP stays the same. The main reason you'd want a fixed IP is if you're running your computer as a server, eg hosting a website on it, so that everyone on the Net can access it. |
