Help purchasing a static IP address for my plusnet account.

I have read on a couple of forum posts that I cannot see the option to purchase a static IP address on my Plusnet account, from the add on menu, unless I have an employee activate it for me? 

Is this something that someone can help me with through this forum?

Thanks in advance!

@Dalekfish Plusnet no longer offer the option of a static IP unless you already have one - in other words they are no longer available.

A decision of BT Consumer Division, of which Plusnet is now merely a 'brand'.

@jab1 Whilst normally you're right, In this case it isn't down to BT consumer division.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Thanks, @MisterW  - you are obviously more 'informed' on these matters than me. 😉

... indeed, not any part of that division.  Other ISPs have been seen withdrawing static IP addresses too.
