I'd really appreciate it if someone from Sonic would reply to my original post (Fri Apr 12, 2024 12:34 pm) containing questions. There's so many negatives I see concerning being forced to Dynamic IP for me that I'm considering that fiber will not really be a viable option.
For example, I run my own email server. I'm currently finding some other mail ISPs won't accept mail from my domain because it's overlayed on to my static ip that matches a specific format that the ISP won't allow. See here for an example of a reject notice I received trying to reply to someone asking me for help:

Honestly I don't know how to get around this. I'm pretty sure Sonic won't be willing to assign their rDNS record to point to my mail domain host. I really don't understand their policy strictness but since I can't even email them a question I guess I'll never know. More impotantly, if/when I'm moved to fiber and forced to have a Dynamic IP things will only get worse for me. I've looked at getting a Dynamic DNS assignment, but it amounts to the same problem for that ISP. They simply will not permit it because it doesn't meet their policy.
I run my own mail server and doman for a reason and I'm not willing to give that up. I guess I'm in the minority these days.
