Re: Gigapower - static IPs? IPv6? Bandwidth consistency?

Damn, I've been kind of spoiled with the dual-stack on Comcast. Oh well, it's not a huge deal for me.

How does the CPE perform? And what is make/model typically being used?

Thanks.

AT&T ran fiber through my neighborhood earlier this year, and the website says my address is eligible. I'd like to wait for Google Fiber, but the incumbents in town seem hell bent on slowing that down as much as possible. I've been on Comcast Business for several years now, and service has been pretty unreliable the whole time (bad signal levels, congestion, frequent outages), so been thinking about other options lately.

So questions:

-Does Gigapower offer static IPs?
-If so, do they offer multiple IPs? (I have a /29 with Comcast Business now.)
-What's the IPv6 situation look like? Prefix delegation or static?
-Is bandwidth consistent? (Have seen on Reddit people saying that the service slows down during primetime, just like Comcast?)

Thanks.

Yeah, Comcast Business makes you rent their gateways if you have statics as well. The gateways

The downside is that their CPE is required.

Yeah, Comcast Business makes you rent their gateways if you have statics as well. The gateways are only doing basic routing across interfaces, so there's not too much of chance to screw things up (but they managed to do so anyway, with the Netgear model suffering from packet loss/latency spikes and the Cisco models suffering from the "Xfinitywifi" virus).
