[ale] Comcast Static IPv6?

[Jerald Sheets]

We don’t have a lot of power blips up here, so I can’t answer that as easily.  I think we bounced once or twice, but my UPS kept it synced.  We had a really bad storm last year, and I was out closer to 24 hours, but that was a frame sync problem.  They had head end issues to resolve.

I hardly drop.  And, oddly, when neighbors are having their residential internet on the fritz, I stay up.

Both my wife and I work from home, and we couldn’t be more pleased.

It didn't used to be like that; it would stay up through and after short power failures so, with everything in the house fully UPSsed, everything just kept working. Both my wife and I work from home at least part of the time, so this is a real problem.

I really don't want their CATV/residential service but I'm willing to go the business route if it will stay up and if I also get less latency and the ability to host my own Internet-facing servers in the process.
