US Cable Support > Comcast HSI > Washington get ready for Bedrock

Also setting your IP address statically is against the ToS and AUP. If comcast catches you doing this you're service will be terminated by abuse.

said by Combat Chuck:

If you change it back before your lease expires theres no way that they'd know and it would not cause the situation for which using a static address is against the TOS.

I agree with Combat Chuck on this. How is this against the TOS when static ips are not even issued to residential accounts to begin with. If someone does set their ip statically, they'll either lose their connection after the lease has expired or continue to have connection until the ip needs to be changed due to network maintenance/upgrade. In this case the person will call Comcast and support agents will troubleshoot as normal. Once they find that the person has set their ip statically, they'll simply tell that person to set ip to obtain automatically. If that resolves the issue, then that is that. I've never heard of anyone losing their service because they configured their ip statically.
