I have been informed that my old ISP has been acquired by another
probably due to the impending changeover to fibre.
The new ISP tells me that the process will be painless and does not
require my input - they will reconfigure it all.
I figure that I will have to enable "Remote Access" on my modem for them
to be able to do this.
Not entirely sure when, or for how, long to enable this. I suppose it is
a small risk for a small window in time
They have given me changeover date. I assume that it is reasonably accurate.
I could enable it for a week or two around that date and keep tabs on my
ISP identity
If it were me, I would not enable it.
Your modem is set to fetch its ip via dhcp. New ISP could get your network info, plug it into their DHCP server, and when your current WAN lease
gets past renew lease date/time, broadcasts a lease request, and you are
on new ISP ip.

You're slipping, Bits, I can actually follow that script. :-)
