<div dir="ltr">OK, so I skimmed most of this, Jim, your IP would change either when you change the MAC of your inside router or the modem, easy way to get around an IP block/ban.<div><br></div><div>If you can and you are not going over 100/20 package get the SMC modem, the Netgears have been a crapshoot and even the comcast reps will admit it. I have had great service from them, had a tech to my place in 45 min on christmas eve, called in for my sister on christmas and got a biz rep on rather short order (1 min wait or so) had to call back for the rez side, took 45 min or so. I have had to have their plant engineers come out and do some troubleshooting with me, I got an over populated node split, though it did take a couple months. all in all it is not that high of a price to pay to move 2-4TB of data every month. </div><div><br></div><div>This has just been my experience with them.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 14, 2015 at 6:05 AM, Jim Lynch <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ale_nospam@fayettedigital.com" target="_blank">ale_nospam@fayettedigital.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I've had residential service from Comcast for about 4 years and I still have the same IP address that I started out with.

I have residential and my ip stays the same for past two months even I've had modem power rebooted few times. How often is supposed to change?<br>
