No internet with custom IP

If one is getting the speeds from their I.S.P that they are paying for, I know of no tricks to get more speed from their I.S.P. other than buying more speed.
Buy a better package form their I.S.P. if one is available. Or changing I.S.P. that offers a better package.

I... never.. mentioned anything about getting more speed?

I was referring to post #25

Some people believe that using an alternative DNS server (such as Google's free offering) is quicker than using the automatic settings which is usually the ISP's own DNS server.

If you could please explain to me what the end results you are looking for or expect to get.
I'm not questioning your desire to do what you are trying to do, just trying to understand it a little better.
If I understand it then I have learned something and that makes me happy.

I usually get some programs plain out saying they couldn't connect, because my Windows haven't refreshed the IP or something, then I retry and it works. With static, it never says that for me.
