No, Starlink can't provide you a true Public Static IP, but we at Metro Wireless can!

Overview 

Starlink claims to provide static IPs— but they can’t (here’s why & how we fix it)

Starlink markets a “persistent IP”— but don't be misled. Here’s what they actually deliver:

1. A single dynamic IP that usually stays the same— but can change without warning.
2. No guarantee in their Terms of Service that the IP won’t shift.
3. No support for IP blocks (like /29 or /28)— just one address.
4. Once it changes, the old IP is gone forever— no recovery option.

“A ‘Persistent IP’ (or ‘Sticky Dynamic IP’) means your public IPv4 address is retained even when your Starlink system reboots— but it’s not a true static IP and can still change.”

‍This inconsistency creates major headaches for businesses that rely on:
✔ Remote access (VPNs, cloud apps)
✔ Hosted services (email, VoIP, servers)
✔ Secure site-to-site connections

Why Your Business Needs a True Static IP

A static IP is like a permanent mailing address for your internet connection— critical for:

‍1. Security & access control

1. Whitelist trusted IPs for firewalls & VPNs.
2. Prevent unauthorized access with fixed, known IPs.

2. Reliable business operations

1. Host servers, cameras, or databases without reconfiguration.
2. Maintain stable VoIP calls and video conferences.

3. Seamless failover

1. If Starlink drops, backup connections take over without IP changes.
2. No need to update DNS or firewall rules.

4. Multiple services, one network

1. Need separate IPs for servers, POS systems, or security? A /29 or /28 block solves this.

‍

    🚫 DHCP (dynamic IPs) might work for home users— but businesses need stability, security, and uptime.

How Metro Wireless delivers true Static IPs on Starlink

We solve Starlink’s limitations with enterprise-grade networking:

 We own our IP blocks 

1. Unlike resellers, we control our IPs— no dependency on carriers.
2. Your IP stays the same even if we switch providers.

Same IP block across all connections

1. Whether you’re on Starlink, 5G, or fiber, your static IP never changes.

Seamless failover— zero downtime

1. If Starlink fails, traffic shifts to backup connections instantly.
2. No dropped calls, frozen meetings, or lost transactions.

Bonding for maximum speed & reliability

1. Combine Starlink + 5G + Fiber into one ultra-stable connection.
2. Perfect for real-time apps like VoIP and cloud tools.

No IT headaches

1. No complex firewall updates— we handle routing automatically.

Conclusion

Starlink is great— but without a true static IP, businesses risk:

❌Unexpected downtime
When Starlink's "persistent IP" changes unexpectedly:

1. Mission-critical systems (POS, VoIP, cloud apps) suddenly lose connectivity
2. Remote workers get locked out of VPN connections
3. Automated processes break when IP-dependent APIs fail
4. Customers can't access your services during crucial business hours

❌ Security vulnerabilities
Dynamic IPs create security challenges: 

1. Firewall rules need constant updating to accommodate IP changes
2. Security audits become more complex with shifting access points
3. Whitelisting becomes unreliable for partner/employee access
4. Potential exposure during IP transition periods

❌ Reconfiguration nightmares
Every IP change forces IT teams to: 

1. Update firewall rules across multiple locations
2. Modify DNS records and wait for propagation
3. Reprogram VPN configurations
4. Adjust security group settings in cloud environments
5. Retrain employees on new access procedures
