Hey folks, looks like I need to drop Comcast (Yankees Network thing) and the only other real option is Verizon. Anybody have any problems with Verizon? Like can I open ports for things like Asterisk, etc? Or do they block stuff like that? Can I ssh in (I use the usual non standard port number) and webmin, etc? If they seem to work on the decision is easy. I already have fiber to the house for phone. GeorgeC W2DB 2360
what they told me up here in PA, and this may be depending on what their charter agreement says...but usually, if it is only a consumer-grade service, you are limited in what you can run...they frown on running web servers and such if all you are listed as is a home user. Business class, on the other hand, usually allows for on-prem servers and the like, as well as fixed IP addressing...all for extra $, of course. I went with business class; higher QoS, faster response to tech issues, and generally, more professional dealing. I've found that, all things being equal, when the consumer-grade service is experiencing issues not on the physical plant, that my neighbors are staring at their hourglass and i'm still passing traffic. ymmv. -- Bryan Sent from my iPhone 6S...No electrons were harmed in the sending of this message.

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. -- Apu <apu@spfld.com>
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:

Fios does not like UDP packets. Verizon will not fix the problem. I live in Murrieta, CA.. Good luck if you move to Verizon.
