Try looking for ISPs whose main business is hosting and business lines, for which home users are just a side business ;)

Those, like TNG, often offer far better contracts.

First of all we're reaching the point where we basically discuss a tiny part of the overall space and as such this is not even relevant to the original point any more.

Secondly, the ISP you named (TNG) does not appear to even give out blocks for customers.


The claim I made, that most ISPs at least provide one IP per customer, so you personally can use one device with a public IP, is still true.

The "small ISPs give out multiple IPs on request" is a different, but related part.


Then we are discussing about completely different aspects because I was talking about an owned block which would be the only way to avoid a NAT on your side.


An ISP can give you a bunch of separate, but still static IPs. That’s too rare.

It’s effectively like the standard 24h dynamic IPs, just that they never change them. You don’t own the IP, but are still guaranteed to be reachable under it.
