Should I go for static IP

I used to be on £7.50 unlimited package. And, I synched at 3.9/10xx with Netgear DG834G. Downloading files - speed was consistent.

Then I wanted to take on Home Phone and was put on 'The Works' package for BB. Now, with Router Box IV, I synch at 3.2/9xx and the speed when downloading files is very erratic and when it is slow it is very slow.

I am told that using Static IP will stabilise things. I just want to know if it is worth the hassle. Or would I be opening doors to hackers.

Re: Should I go for static IP

To be honest I'd be amazed if a static IP would make things more stable.

You only really need one if you host websites/email etc. of your own.

Static won't make a difference.
