Thanks for the quick replies. I am, in fact, in NJ (Toms River) so the info from Apu is great. I was very spoiled for almost 20 years, first TCI cable (DFW) then AT&T with having static IP addresses but nobody in NJ (ok, two choices) provides that. With TCI (when it all worked) I had 4 addresses, with AT&T from 2001-2015 had a /29 network, five useable addresses. I miss it because AT&T didn't care that I was running mail/web/DNS from those addresses. FiOS and Comcast both offer static IP, but only one and for a large price. But y''all helped me decide to kick Comcast to the gutter they belong in. Thanks GeorgeC W2DB 2360 On 03/17/2016 10:36 AM, Apu wrote:
I find the Comcast set-top boxes to be more responsive than the FiOS STBs but, as far as Internet access, inbound access to various ports (SSH, IAX, SIP, etc.), uptime, etc., I've had no problems in New Jersey. Only port 25 outbound is blocked as far as I've noticed, which is fairly typical.
