Please allow assigning a static IP on xFi gateway
I'd like to let some friends join my Minecraft server, but this is pretty much impossible to do when the IP address keeps changing. I did not realize this would happen when switching to xFi and is worse than the setup I had before.
Please offer the ability to have a static IP address for Residential users.

You can get one if you switch to a Comcast business account. They can provision business cable to a residence. A friend of mine has a business account. Of course it costs more, but not many ISPs are going to give you a static IP on a residential account these days.
A cheaper option might be to just rent a VM from some cloud provider.

@RandomEngy
Would using a DDNS (Dynamic DNS Internet Service) / client be an option for you ? Google for more info.

Hello, @RandomEngy At the present time zandor60657 is correct that the only way to get a static IP address is through a business account.
