You may want to check your telcos agreement on that.
As far as the Telcos are concerned, we all need to happy little consumers of media.
We aren’t allowed to generate and publish any media of our own.
The Governments agree with them.
There is a business reason for it with the ever shrinking public ipv4 space available. Universal ipv6 support is a must, but gestures at the OP post.
Yeah once I figured out what happened I did check the agreement and saw that I was completely at their whim with no recourse (MATE internet if anyone is curious). So at this point I'm shopping around ISPs that allow for a static routable IP, if anyone has any recommendations then let me know. Looking for 250/25 or better when it comes to speed
Most of the good NBN ISPs have dual stack networks with a delegated ipv6 prefix and will turn off CG-NAT by request on the ipv4 side:
Aussie broadband have cgnat but will turn it off if you ask. I don't pay for a static IP and I've not had it change in 5 years, but I can pay $5 a month to guarantee it
While I don't have an official static IP with iiNet NBN, I don't remember the last time it changed. It's been at least 18 months on the same IP. They also allow you to open up remote access ports on your link (they block all the common ports by default) via their toolbox interface.
@Nath @Skezlarr I asked iinet for a static IP once. It seemed to blow their mind. A nice lady rang back some time later and asked how many devices I have at home. I said probably 50-60. She then tried to sell me business ethernet
