Blacklisted as spam ip was the reason. Trouble is my ip is dynamic and changes. They want £10 per month for a static ip though!
Are you sure? My parents are with PlusNet and last time I checked it was £5 for a static IP, but AFAIR it was a one-off fee. I was still determined not to pay it because it just seems like handing over money for someone to click a mouse button once and change the setting.
It's a little more then a single click - you would be assigned a different range, they might even have to create a whois entry.
Plusnet is most likely also paying to be a RIPE NCC member (a LIR), which will cost them about EUR1400/annum. £5 for a static IP, one-off - that's entirely reasonable. Even 5/month.
That is for reverse DNS to work, or is it something different? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Internet_registry#Local_Internet_regi... Local Internet registry A local Internet registry (LIR) is an organization that has been allocated a block of IP addresses by a RIR, and that assigns most parts of this block to its own customers.[9] Most LIRs are Internet service providers, enterprises, or academic institutions. Membership in a Regional Internet registry is required to become an LIR. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
