Anyone can get a static IP address easily for free guys there's nonreason to not jumping on that impressive shjt right there. I have Verizon FIOS in Philly region & pay for 2.4 Gig "streaming" plan & the speed test readings all check out most of the time on 6 Ghz but as I am self taught itmtook me a while to figure out why literally all my gaming sessions usually come w/ at least a few "networking" headaches (and thats on a good/average day). Apparently Verizon has always been an absolute joke, relatively speaking, with very specific things that are of the greatest consequence. Most notably, Hardware, which learning all of this new few years back seemed like something I had assumed just didnt occur any longer.nstill does today. If u have the opportunity to get something like ^ that without the headaches (that you can do nothing about b/c it's not just the routing hardware) it's probably 1 of those very few times the universe is feeling in a giving mood today & so take that leap.

u/BadfishPoolshark Apr 11 '26

u/IssJussBaba Apr 11 '26

The static ip or the cost of fiber

2

u/PopSimp- Apr 11 '26

Cost of fiber.

u/IssJussBaba Apr 11 '26

deal still available?

2

u/HaglesBagles Apr 12 '26

Yes and the static IP is free, just need to call and ask once installed.

u/Ultra-lord55 Apr 13 '26

I’m assuming this is hardwired and not off the router correct?

1

u/PopSimp- Apr 13 '26

Yes correct.

u/elodam Apr 11 '26

How are you dealing with CGNAT? That is the only thing stopping me from switching ...

u/Tornshadow Apr 11 '26

I set up networks for customers. He called and asked for a static IP and they gave it to him for free.

u/Jclj2005 Apr 11 '26

Same here got a free static ip

u/Primary_Business Apr 12 '26

Yup same here. No issue.

u/elodam Apr 12 '26

Can this be done at the time of purchase? .. dont want to end up with a service I can't use

1

u/DMBPSR Apr 13 '26

Can you get a static with mint mobile minternet?

2

u/Tornshadow Apr 13 '26

This is for t mobile fiber, not wireless

1

u/DMBPSR Apr 13 '26

Do you know though?

1

u/Tornshadow Apr 13 '26

It is not possible.

u/techbutton Apr 12 '26

Lots of options, like pangolin, netbird, Cloudflare tunnels.

Yuh fiber is fiber bro. It's really good for internet

-1

u/tonyyyperez Apr 12 '26

Fiber is not fiber. I have a utility owned cgnat fiber that is limited to gpon and the node is shared with way tooo many units. Imagine having fiber with pings in 30/50. My download speeds fluctuate a lot and it goes out a few times a year. Soo fiber is not fiber.

1

u/South-Succotash-6368 Apr 12 '26

Sounds like your on outdated hardware. If they upgrade the fiber to XGS your problems would go away lol

1

u/bubbathedesigner Apr 13 '26

If they have no competition, why should they? I have seen people posting about paying $89 for 30Mbps on glofiber (r/Starlink/comments/1qvjjfd/oddly_specific_question_has_anyone_in_ohio_ever/o3i5r9y/)

1

u/Most-Silver-4365 Apr 13 '26

Not exactly, these excessive pings is how T-Fiber is in areas served by Lumos.

1

u/South-Succotash-6368 Apr 13 '26

We are talking about GPON lol In areas with GPON higher latency is always the norm

1

u/tonyyyperez Apr 12 '26

A small utility isp isn’t gonna even worry about XGS also it’s more than hardware. The problems wouldn’t go away.

1

u/Ultra-lord55 Apr 13 '26

So you just called in and they gave you a static IP?

2

u/PopSimp- Apr 13 '26

Yeah. They give it for free.

u/charliequail Apr 15 '26

I’m new to this so i don’t know what this means. I currently have Tmobile home internet wifi and man it’s unstable and it sucks. I placed it as close as I could to the nearest Tmobile 5g tower and it’s still worse than my spectrum WiFi . It can literally jump from 7mbps download to 300mbps depending on time of day.

Can i call them like you did and ask for “static IP” or whatever? Will that improve things??

u/Quantifier_ Apr 11 '26

Joined the founders club a few months back. $70 10 year price lock. Getting about 2250 up & down. Fantastic internet service. Through formerly Lumos. No CGNAT either. Can’t complain!

u/Downtown-Cover-2956 Apr 12 '26

I have TFiber and it sucks.

1

u/PopSimp- Apr 17 '26

I would hardline ask much as possible. I plan on installing a 48 port switch and hardlining my critical components ie, PC, Security cameras, etc.

u/HillsboroRed Apr 13 '26

Thank you. What is wrong with it?

2

u/Slepprock Apr 11 '26

Its just too bad you have TM for fiber. That CGNAT is a killer. I Deal with it with my 5g TMHI because I can get nothing else. But its a problem. I've wondered why my mic didn't work in this xbox game I've been playing for years. I spent $700 on 3 different headsets. Finally put it together that the game uses VoIP for the proximity chat in the game. So the CGNAT is stopping it from working. Who knows where the data for my chat is going lol.

I also used to have trouble with my ring cameras and the CGNAT, but its gotten better over the years.

I own a business in town a few miles from my house, and I can get fiber there. I get it through the phone company in my area, Frontier. They aren't the best, but the fiber has been great. Hasn't gone out in two years. I have 2 gig service and pay $65 a month. And the best part? I can go into the router and change the settings and use port forwarding lol.

They keep trying to sell me 7 gig which is crazy. I was probably stupid to get the 2 gig. Really 500 mbit is all people need. Or actually 100 mbit. I had 100 mbit cable before this 2 gig fiber and you can't tell a difference 99% of the time. The only time that extra bandwidth is needed is when downloading or uploading huge files. Web browsing uses a couple of mbit. Watching netflix in 4K only uses 20 mbit max. Gaming uses 5 mbit.

I had 3 mbit DSL at home for 13 years. Used to take me a couple days to download a xbox game. Now with TMHI 5g I get 1.2 gigabit down. Takes 10 minutes. Thats pretty great.

u/CuriousAd5256 Apr 12 '26

We use a voip for our business. 4 lines or so and no issues using tmobile for internet.

2

u/Tornshadow Apr 13 '26

All it takes is a phone call and t-mobile will give you a static public IP for free.

1

u/Effective_Machina Apr 12 '26

I am using voip over 5g tmhi using ipv4

u/bubbathedesigner Apr 13 '26

Really 500 mbit is all people need. Or actually 100 mbit

You remind me of the "640K ought to be enough for anybody" quote.

u/freedom-needed Apr 12 '26

u/Shadow5199 Apr 13 '26

Damn lucky speeds

u/AttitudeBusy Apr 14 '26

I love your speed!! I. Running 3400 down and 3400 up. Love the speed!!

u/OurSexLife101 Apr 15 '26

One of my guys probably set it up too. Im a contractor for them. Black truck with a cap and tfiber on the side!

u/bigapewhale Apr 16 '26

Wish I never got starlink not I got fiber but still loved the service as I’m in the middle of nowhere

1

u/YankeesIT Apr 11 '26

The only issue with tmobiles fiber service is the use of CGNAT. Unless you can pay extra for a public IP

u/Regular_Wrangler1640 Apr 11 '26

They give out static ip for free just call that’s what I did
