[ale] Xfinity Modem -- lease or buy recoomendations

[Jeremy T. Bouse]

Ask me how you get around them not allowing you a static IP on business

I've been slowly moving all my services that ran on various VPS/cloud
hosts back into my house now that I'm on business class... You can
engineer the hell out of a solution and make it work if you want to.
