I see what's going on. Disregard.
Anyone using their own router with Frontier won't be able to forward ports unless they rely on 3rd party solutions such as a VM cloud - or pay more for a static IP. Frontier is trying to not hand out as many public IPv4 address. They are using shared Global carrier NAT addressing to save IP address at the expense of customers not being able to forward ports. It's like having another LAN upstream from your router that won't let the outside world see the ports you assign on your router. There is another solution. Use their router and pay more.
Frontier is telling me that my ONT box can't be put into bridge mode.
I'm getting a normal public IP in my Asus router, but when I run the command: netstat -ano -p tcp, I'm seeing a GCNAT address of 100.64.X.X assigned to the same port I opened in my router. If I could bridge past their GCNAT address I would be good, you can't without 3rd party solutions which defeats the point of paying less.
Their phone support brutal. And They have no escalation unless you pay $10 a month for that service. The hold times are over 30 mins, I NEVER went through this with Spectrum. By the way, for those who don't know. Fiber optic is not faster than Cable. Look it up yourself. Fiber supports much longer distances, but side by side cable was proven to have lower latency by a few microseconds. And since most Cable ISPs run fiber for their back bone, you're only getting cable to your home from a local hub in your neighborhood. There's no advantage in speed for having an all fiber option connection. They don't even care. They're trying to sell me a business line and acting like port forwarding is a new thing. No, it's just you guys decided to take it away. Welcome to the new new world. Run
