This assumes that the ISP has a short lived DHCP lease. Comcast Business once tried to charge me to roll my DHCP IP from them. They told me I would have to disconnect my equipment for three weeks for the lease to expire. I told them to go fuck themselves, got a minicipal fiber connection, and never looked back.

With Comcast, if I spoof my router's MAC address, I get a new IP instantly... otherwise it is basically static (residential service).

So does that mean they somehow detect the mac address has come from a new device and roll the ip address to prevent people from doing server kinds of things?

I host servers on my home connection and never had issues (but I do use a dynamic dns service to make sure that I always have the correct IP)

Must be nice! I wonder if OP even has the ability to switch ISPs (here in Texas, limited options)
