[ale] Comcast Static IPv6?

[Alex Carver]

Did you get AT&T's Static IP service?  If you do you can run servers (I
do).  You have to request that all outbound ports must be unblocked
(Tier 1 will be confused thinking it's a modem setting but if you
persist and they escalate, the Tier 2 will know and do a little keyboard
shuffle and the block will be gone in a few minutes after a "Please be
very careful" prepared statement)
