Does Simply Broadband use CGNAT?
CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT) is a variant of NAT that is used by internet service providers like Simply Broadband to provide internet access to our customers.
Our IP Addresses use CGNAT, a single public IP address, by default. However, we can arrange for a Public IP or a Static IP if required. An additional monthly fee will be required.
CGNAT is fine for everyday home, consumer use (Netflix, YouTube, web browsing, social media), but it MAY be unsuitable when you need direct inbound connectivity or advanced networking features.
