   Each ISP has their own issues...  Here Comcast will not allow a residential    
   account to get a static IP.  You have to subscribe to a Business Class plan    
   and use their router/modem combo to get static IP(s).  Putting their router in    
   quasi-bridge mode so that you can use your own router (which is something many    
   businesses would want to do) is problematic; some models of their    
   gateway/router devices are known to be unstable or just not work properly at    
   all in quasi-bridge mode.  That, coupled with the fact that their tech support    
   folks are not known for quick or efficient service, makes them barely    
   tolerable as an ISP.  Unfortunately, their main competitor in this area has    
   their head firmly stuck in the sand as far as IPv6 goes.  Last I checked, they    
   had not even gotten as far as applying for IPv6 address space.
