2nd public ip address

Is there a way to get a second Public Ip address for my residential account? I currently am setting up a pair of palo alto 220 firewalls that will have my primary connection on it and I intend to set up a fortigate firewall for my high bandwidth needs adjacent to the palo alto pair. Ideally I would want each of them to have a public ip address so I can continue to have both on the edge of my network. Is this possible?

They are phasing this feature out so it may no longer be available, but I'm going to escalate this to the Comcast corporate employees that are available to these boards. We've seen cases here where they have been able to get this accomplished for customers in some market areas even when it is not listed in their rate cards, YMMV. You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !

I tried to do as you said and was told by support that if I continued to use that line I would be in violation of the terms of service. Then I was told that the I cannot be helped because it is not linked to this post. Can you assist further with this? Maybe we can open a new ticket.

Good evening @user_v2620l, the second IP address is not available and/or supported in all markets any longer, but we can definitely look into yours and see if it's something available for you to add.
