Is Comcast really planning on CG-NATting customers?

Hello all, I am looking for clarification on whether Comcast is intending to start carrier grade NATting customers? Will there be a means of opting out? (If so and if not respectively, then I will most definitely be switching providers......)

Hello again T_W !! I doubt that you'll get any kind of answer on that here.... I reported this to Comcast insiders when I first saw it a year ago. It's also been reported to their network engineering department's higher ups, but so far, nothing but denial and silence.

@EG​ yeah I pretty much had the feeling this is screaming into the void posting here. I already noticed since signing up a year ago or so that while I still have a global IP on my WAN facing personal router, my first hop is always a 10.0.0.0/8 private IP. I still have inbound connectivity from the internet, but for how long?......

Is Jason Livingood still kicking around the company? If so, then I wonder what his opinion of this might be.....

Yes he is. Denial and crickets. Can't blame him though, he likely has to tow the company line. It would be nice if he would pop in to these boards now and then. It's been years.
