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.              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 15/2 16/0 123/130 131 1970 154/10 201/119 203/0 221/0       SEEN-BY: 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/107 426 230/0 240/1120 5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 261/38 280/464 5003 5006 5555 292/624 854 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/119 219 322/757 342/200 393/68 423/120 633/280       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 712/848 770/1 2452/250 3828/7 5020/545       PATH: 320/219 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
