[ale] Serious: Comcast Business vs Residential

[Ted W.]

The tech that was out at my house recently told me that you have to
lease the modem if you have more than one static IP. If you have a
single static IP or no static IP a consumer cable modem like the one
you'd have on residential service works fine. It's probably the only
reason I've considered dropping down from 5 to 1 static IP. Save myself
a little money every month.
