A guide to the cost, availability, and application process for securing a Real (Dedicated) IP from ISPs in Bangladesh.

Real IP Pricing and Availability in Bangladesh

Direct Answer: In Bangladesh, obtaining a “Real IP” (a dedicated Public IP address) for a home broadband connection typically costs an additional 100 to 300 BDT per month on top of your regular internet bill. Corporate connections usually include one or more Real IPs at no extra charge.

Average Cost of a Real IP

Due to the global exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, obtaining a dedicated public IP address has become a premium service. ISPs must purchase these IP blocks at significant cost, which is passed down to the consumer.

Nationwide ISPs

Large, category-A ISPs generally have transparent pricing policies for Real IPs:

  • Link3 Technologies: Often charges an additional 150 - 200 BDT per month for home users.
  • AmberIT: Typically charges around 150 - 250 BDT per month.
  • Dot Internet: Generally offers Real IPs for an additional 150 - 200 BDT per month. (Note: Pricing is subject to change based on the provider’s current IPv4 inventory).

Local and Zonal ISPs

Smaller neighborhood ISPs may charge slightly more—up to 300 BDT per month—because they have a much smaller pool of Public IPs available to them. Some extremely small ISPs may not offer Real IPs to home users at all.

Do Corporate Connections Get Free Real IPs?

Yes. If you subscribe to a “Corporate” or “Dedicated” internet package, the significantly higher monthly fee almost always includes at least one Real IP by default. Businesses require Real IPs for running email servers, VPN gateways, and corporate firewalls.

How to Apply for a Real IP

The process is generally straightforward:

  1. Contact Support: Call your ISP’s customer service hotline or open a ticket through their portal.
  2. Request the Add-on: Ask to add a “Real IP” to your current package.
  3. Configuration: Your ISP will either assign the Real IP to your router remotely (via PPPoE) or ask you to configure a Static IP address manually on your router’s WAN settings.
  4. Billing: The extra charge will be added to your next billing cycle.

Is the Extra Cost Worth It?

If you are a competitive gamer suffering from “Strict NAT” issues on PlayStation/Xbox, or if you need to access a home CCTV or NAS system remotely, the 150-300 BDT monthly fee is absolutely worth it. It is the only reliable way to ensure unrestricted, two-way communication over the internet.

If you only use your internet for YouTube, Netflix, scrolling Facebook, and general browsing, a Real IP will not make your internet faster. For casual users, the extra cost is unnecessary.
