Did you have to request specific equipment to get a static or semi-static IPv4 like you get with cable? Did it cost extra?

I don’t think it’s optional. I think that’s what separates home internet from business internet. Could someone that has this service confirm?

$70, not $50. And this breaks the deal: https://www.t-mobile.com/business/filtering

Not really usable at home.

Fucking hate all the coax providers. Absolute monopoly granted to them in insane. I’m stuck with an even worse one - Spectrum. No other options where I live. Tmo home internet is cheaper but it’s not reliable enough despite a $400 antenna pointed directly at their tower. And CGNAT breaks a ton of shit.

All this instead of just hiring a few senior devs to contribute to any of the number of existing open source projects that are already infinitely better than any new thing they will come up with.

Would love to get this in US/Canada

I understand. I was replying to how gov agencies would find out. Any digital transmission is basically “static” to an analog receiver.

A high powered antenna that transmits a lot of “static” would be a dead giveaway.
