As noted on the previous post, Celcom Mobile Broadband are using Public Dynamic IP (which means that there is no specific IP address assigned to your connection and in most cases it may means that you are sharing a same IP with other subscriber). Most blogs out there mistakenly states that Celcom use static IP, however the truth is Celcom are using Public Dynamic IP where several IP are shared by Celcom subscribers. Static IP means each subcribers got their own IP which in this celcom broadband scenario is not the case (since subscriber are sharing the IP and not using distinctive personal IP per subscriber)
Example of Celcom broadband IP in Peninsular Malaysia: 203.82.79.2 and 203.82.91.34 (Most probable IP range are between 203.82.64.0 - 203.82.95.255)
Based on my own experience, most of the time I was hooked to the 203.82.91.34 and according to unconfirmed source the 203.82.79.2 is the most unreliable IP (read, slow and lot of problems)
Static IP and Dynamic IP as defined by wikipedia:
"When a computer is configured to use the same IP address each time it powers up, this is known as a Static IP address. In contrast, in situations when the computer's IP address is assigned automatically, it is known as a Dynamic IP address."

This IP is not static. It differs based on locations and other circumstances. Your IP may be changed (but its not that frequent) if there is a congestion or overload on the previous IP you are using, in certain conditions the system may reroute your connection to a new available and uncongested IP.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STATIC IP AND DYNAMIC IP
1. Eventhough Dynamic IP is considered as Unsecured connection, however in theory Static IP is more prone to hackers due to the fact that the IP address is permanent. Once a hacker got your IP number, its easy for them to access your data remotely. In contrast, for dynamic IP since it is not permanent address, your IP address may change from time to time, thus making hacker`s job more difficult.
2.Each time a dynamic IP address refreshes you run the risk of downtime from the server. While this is usually only for a very short time, it can wreak havoc on your FTP activity/gaming. Having a static address eliminates this risk.
3.For all those online gaming addicts, having a static IP address means that you can take your gaming to the next level. Most PC games have an option for operating your own server, allowing you to select your own settings and regulate who you let into your game - so you and your friends could have a private game of Battlefield.
4.FTP (File Transfer Protocol) may encounter several connection error/slow connection if ran on a Dynamic IP (eventhough FTP activity with a dynamic IP is still possible). This may happen due to a lot of other internet surfer connect to the internet using the same IP thus restricting the bandwidth resources.
5.The most noteable disadvantage of a dynamic IP over a Static IP is that, let say there are 4 internet surfers surf the internet using the same IP, if one of them banned from a certain website, it will also effect the other 3 surfers. In the case of Celcom Mobile Broadband, the most common problem is when they try to access File sharing website such as Rapidshare and Megaupload (where free download are restricted per IP) and IRC chat server (which require personal IP for security and management purpose).
6. For dynamic IP, in case of overload and internet surfing is almost impossible or too slow, releasing and reregistering IP may solve the problem. However for static IP, there is nothing you can do since your IP is permanent and cannot be changed.
