Static IP.Any UK line.
Stuck behind CGNAT? Self-hosting? Need a fixed IP without switching ISP? L2TP is the bypass.
A Giant-issued static public IPv4 and a native IPv6 /48 delivered over an L2TPv2 tunnel that runs on top of whatever broadband you already have. Works on FTTP, FTTC, SoGEA, altnets, 4G / 5G — any UK line, any provider. Inbound ports work, port forwarding works, self-hosting works. From 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps symmetric, 30-day rolling, no lock-in.
- Real static IPv4
- Native IPv6 /48
- No CGNAT, no double-NAT
- Custom reverse DNS
- Any router that speaks L2TPv2
- 30-day rolling
Setup. No engineer visit. Credentials in your inbox within the hour.
Pick a plan, pay online, get a one-page router config in your email. Up and running today — no install slot, no waiting on Openreach.
Three tiers. Pick by upload.
All three plans give you the same static IPv4, the same IPv6 /48, the same custom reverse DNS. The only difference is the speed cap on the tunnel itself. Pick the one that matches your actual line — there's no point paying for 1 Gbps if your underlying broadband only does 100 Mbps up.

Tunnel runs on top of your line. Static IP comes out the other side.
L2TPv2 is the same VPN-style protocol that's been in every business router for 20 years — your router dials our gateway, authenticates, and from then on its WAN address is the Giant-issued static IP. Everything that follows just sees that IP.
Tunnel overhead is typically under 5 ms anywhere in the UK. Your router does the L2TP heavy lifting — no software to install on end devices, no per-machine config.

L2TP isn't for everyone — most home broadband users don't need it. But if you fit one of these profiles, it's the cheapest, quickest way to get what you need without switching ISP or jumping to a leased line.
Self-hosters
Run your own services from home — Plex, Nextcloud, Home Assistant remote, a Minecraft server, a personal mail server. Port forwarding works because you have a real public IP, not a CGNAT-shared one.
Gamers + game-server hosts
Host private CS2 / Valheim / Minecraft / Palworld servers from your line without UPnP rabbit-holes. Same line for play, no double-NAT, friends connect on a stable IP that doesn't change.
Small businesses on consumer broadband
Your existing broadband is fine — you just need a static IP for VPN access, remote-desktop in, IP-locked SaaS, or a cloud firewall whitelist. L2TP adds the IP without the cost of a leased line.
Prosumers stuck behind CGNAT
On an altnet or mobile broadband where every customer shares one IP? L2TP gives you a real public IPv4 of your own — inbound connections work again. No need to switch provider.
4G / 5G failover with a stable IP
Run a 4G or 5G line as your primary or failover, but keep your public IP constant. Your remote access, VPN endpoint, and DNS records stay valid even when the underlying line changes.
Anyone who wants to keep their IP
Moving house? Switching ISP? Your IP comes with you. The static IPv4 + IPv6 prefix is allocated to your L2TP tunnel, not your line — drop it onto a different connection and nothing else changes.
Plain L2TPv2.
No surprises.
Same protocol your router has supported since 2005. No vendor lock-in, no special hardware, no agent software. Point any L2TPv2 client at our gateway with the credentials we send and that's it.
UK-only routing
Your traffic stays on Giant's UK network — same backbone as our broadband customers. No US exit, no offshore routing.
Sub-5 ms overhead
Tunnel adds negligible latency anywhere in the UK. Fine for gaming, comfortable for VoIP, invisible for everything else.
