I currently pay 70$ a month for residential 50/50 Ziply fiber internet in Oregon. On the ziply website it says it would be 50$ a month for 100/100 small business fiber. Would that let me get a static IP, port 25 unblocked and reverse dns? Are there any strings attached as it seems strange for small business internet to be cheaper than residential?

    Ok so yesterday I had a static IP installed from ziply with business internet. I have not gotten a chance to test it yet (longer story below).

    Ok so when they installed the static ip it went well until I had to setup the static ip on my eero router. I think I have been paying for 100/100 this whole time but it was not working because my house had a 15 year old fiber box. That was all replaced with a fiber running into the network room going to the ONT which has an ethernet that connects to the router. When I tried to set up the static ip it just bricked my eero and it would not connect to the internet. When I factory reset it it would not get past the setup screen even when I connected behind another router with a dhcp server. The internet technician tried for 3 hours to debug the eero and I tried for a few more hours. Today I just got a new Asus router system and it has been working well so far though I regret not documenting the port forwards required for each server and service better. I only have 2 routers now but I get full 300/300 speed inside the house and 100/100 outside on the edge of our property. I bought it with the best buy promotion where if you trade in your old broken router you get 15% off of a new one.
