In the US it's standard that residential accounts don't get to do that, but business accounts (which are usually double the price for the same speed but come with better/quicker support, particularly when physical lines are down, and an open connection) are allowed to run on-prem. And usually with a residential account you don't get a static IP as an option, but if you're lucky you can pay extra for one.

I use a VPS ($15/yr), map the ports from the VPS to the server at home. For example, when you hit 80/443 on the VPS, it's routed to a reverse proxy in the apartment, then to the correct service. Not a bad setup.
- monocasa 8y agoI tried to get a business account once at Comcast, and they wouldn't give me one that terminated at an apartment. : /
- stevehawk 8y agoThat's weird, I honestly wouldn't have expected that. They gave me a little resistance with one terminating at a home but ultimately they did it. They probably start to weigh the pros/cons (ie the money) of business level service to large residential buildings and decide it isn't worth it. Maybe too many variables once the line enters the building?
- FireBeyond 8y agoMaybe the building part. But I've never had any issue - at three homes - with Comcast Business being run into my home garage.
