dynamic or static ip?

[schizo]

Is my public ip static or dynamic? i went to ipchiken.com and it didnt say if mine was static or even dynamic in the name address, i did the cmd than ipconfig thing and it said yes to DHCP enabled, and I just want to make sure because other people have my ip since i found my ip on doxbin and it was totally f'd up. Now, i can reset my router to test if it works or not, but thats not very practical since multiple people r using the wifi and not a good idea to reset my ip. any tips on what to do?

What ISP do you have?

What type of Intent is it? Dsl, cable, fiber, satellite?

Is it registered at a home or business?

Just a quick example, but it will depend on exactly what and who you have for ISP, which is why my above questions; but usually Dsl is dynamic and all the rest are static.

But even though say, Xfinity is static IP if using "home" internet, if there is a major issue you can request an IP# change. Which I've done before with them.

You can never change your Isp ip# by yourself. Either the ISP does it on its own, given you have dynamic. Or its static and tied to the home address and will not change.

It said
Comcast Cable Communications, LLC
i have no clue how to figure out what type of internet i have but i saw the different types and I think i have wireless since i dont use a ethernet cable (i saw it from the xfinity site)
and its registered to a home

No, Comcast Home Internet is Static IP, always has been. Their Business Internet however offers dynamic.

idk if this will help or anything but my modem says it’s xfinity, is that just another confirmation that my ip is static?

Comcast and Xfinity are one brand.

Again if you have them and it's registered to a home address it's static. If it was dynamic it would change IP all on its own about once every 7 days, which is what Verizon DSL does.

if it would be assigned to a business, wouldn’t it be static? also i searched up if comcast provides dynamic ips, it says it’s dynamic but how come u say it’s static tho?

Comcast for Business offers both types to its customers. They have that choice. Many businesses would want dynamic IP for security reasons

I don't think that's true. I think the IP rarely changes because it's always on. But if say you shut your modem off for a few days you may end up with a new IP. Static IP's are usually a premium feature, "We're paying for this specific IP because we have needs that require the IP to not change." Most residential ip's don't require that so the tend to be dynamic.

As always there's probably exceptions somewhere, but generally.

Nope. I cycle my modem once or twice a week sometimes, it doesn't change. Yes that works with Verizon DSL but it can depend how long the modem was off too.

Comcast Home is always a static IP. It requires you call them with a good reason in order to have them change it. I told them my mothers bank info had been gotten off her laptop... so they changed the our IP. Now I could game online in piece.

also I just have a lot of problems with downloads with comcast services. It's a strange question altogether. It's just service, nothing special. I still pay for 200 gigabites internet and get 30~60 gigabites depending where I check.

You mean 200Megabits per sec, which is 25MegaBytes per sec

ISP show you megabit
Downloads show you megabyte

and everyones ip is like that, by the way. I usually just go for the military and government servers first. i don't like to ask for money from people or cheat people out of money.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Because they list their Home Internet as dynamic. The issue is, it never actually changes. They lock it. It will not change via the user no matter what the user does on their own. They do this so if needed, again I explained above, they can change it easily.

What happens to you as a residential comcast user? A static IP#
