Can Telus do this? I am using a different provider who allows me to use my own IPV4 network address allocated back in the days when there wasn't a shortage. I am interested in using Telus fiber now but want to continue to use my own (and owned) network address.
A tech support person says no, only Telus-owned static addresses can be used. Two other Telus reps say yes, it can be done but I have to order the service and tell the installer to configure my network address at that time.
Does anyone have experience with this? I want to continue using my network address and will not consider using Telus unless I can be assured that they can do it.

I would assume that if the IP address in question is not part of a netblock that Telus owns, they won't be able to use that IP address. That is unless there is some uncommon option for business accounts that isn't publicly disclosed.

Thanks for your comment.
Note that I am asking about network address not host address as I want Telus to rourte my entire 8 bit host address space. and yes Telus doesn't own it. I do. However it seems that Telus must be able to support businesses that have their own IP address space as many do.
What do you make of the comment from some reps that the installer can configure my network address at that time?
thanks.

I honestly couldn't tell you. You will need to speak with a business rep for sure.
