Business Cable Modems (none / 0) (#1)
by tscoff on Mon Feb 25, 2008 at 03:19:57 AM PDT

I have a couple of Comcast's cable modems, but they're for businesses and are on Comcast's business service.  They have static IP addresses and are not restricted.

Each of them costs me $179/month, and part of what I get for the more expensive service is much faster access to tech support.  I run servers on those cable modems and Comcast knows it.  That's why I pay the extra, so that I can run those servers.

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch and you get what you pay for are two old gems that come to mind.
