[AusNOG] Optus NBN HFC lease time 5 minutes....

[Craig O'Toole]

Sorry for all the corrections, getting back to facts now;

I connected to a current Telstra HFC service and the lease time 80227 
seconds which is a little over 22 hours. 11 hours is the half life. 


CORRECTION **** Sorry, not weeks on old HCF, but more like 10 hours.... 
the IPs didn't change for weeks....

They are not a business, they are a home office and residence using a VoIP 
phone and a VPN to work. This is the correct use of the product. 

Optus and Telstra had lease times of weeks on HFC.  Why has this needed to 
change since moving to NBN... Is this for all NBN HFC endpoints? Can 
anyone on-list say whether this is this an RSP or NBN configuration 
choice?

@Stephen; Residential users should have reliable and robust internet 
regardless if it is dynamic IP or not. It would appear to me and I would 
welcome advice from others that;
The Optus NBN product with dynamic addressing and DHCP with a 5 minutes 
lease time provides a service which is less unreliable for what should be 
normal home internet use.
