🌐ISP guidance for multiple IPs

Xfinity (Comcast)

  1. Check Availability:

    • Navigate to Xfinity Support Rate Card and log in with your Xfinity account credentials.

    • Open the PDF file to check if "Additional IP address" is listed as an option.

  2. Request an Additional IP Address:

    • If available, post a request on the Xfinity forum, specifying your interest in an additional IP address and confirming that you’ve checked the rate card.

    • A Comcast official employee will assist you from there.

  3. Considerations:

    • Availability may be restricted due to the declining number of public IPv4 addresses. If your area no longer offers multiple IPs, existing add-ons may be grandfathered as long as no changes are made to the plan, account, or equipment​ (Xfinity Community Forum)​.

AT&T

  1. Contact Customer Support:

    • Call AT&T customer support or use the online chat to inquire about obtaining multiple IP addresses.

  2. Business Plan Requirement:

    • Multiple IP addresses are often only available with business plans. Discuss with the support representative to see if your residential plan can be upgraded or if a business plan is needed.

  3. Configuration:

    • If approved, AT&T will provide instructions and possibly new equipment to configure the additional IP addresses.

Verizon

  1. Business Services:

    • Similar to AT&T, Verizon typically provides multiple IP addresses through their business services. Contact Verizon support to discuss your needs.

  2. Request and Approval:

    • If you are a business customer or can upgrade to a business plan, request additional IP addresses.

  3. Technical Setup:

    • Verizon will guide you through the technical setup and may provide a modem or router that supports multiple IP addresses.

Spectrum

  1. Customer Support Inquiry:

    • Contact Spectrum customer support to ask about the availability of multiple IP addresses.

  2. Plan Upgrade:

    • Spectrum may require an upgrade to a business plan for additional IP addresses. Discuss the options with the support representative.

  3. Setup:

    • Once approved, Spectrum will provide the necessary configuration details and support to set up the multiple IP addresses.
