No. Verizon does not supply outward facing public IP addresses for residential accounts. That would be the WAN IP that could be seen and used on the public side of your router. To get a static IP for your WAN address you would need to have a Verizon business account, flat out plain and simple, no conflicting information. Regardless if it is a HSI or FiOS account the Static IP is optional for small businesses, and yes it does cost more.
If you want to be able to contact your router remotely based on a domain or domain host Dynamic IP, there are various companies that do this. You would just configure port forwarding to the service and computer on your internal network. A free host ID on their domain or a paid domain name with more elaborate features. I have used both at one time or another. The last time was for a temporary speed test server I was running for network speed tests on my GPON 150/65 connection I had. Some people use it for security cameras, or home control systems where they do not wish to connect through a third party. There are many reasons for wanting this. But remember, it is against Verizon’s TOS to run a server on a residential account. But I have only heard of them going after someone with a warning because of excessive traffic being generated on a FiOS account.
How to Set Up Static IP Addresses With Verizon FiOS Routers
i Jupiterimages/Creatas/Getty Images Actiontec, who makes Verizon’s FIOS fiber-optic Internet routers, recommend that you use the default DHCP connections provided by the router for computers and other equipment connected to the router. DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, dynamically allocates IP addresses as requested by the equipment connected. Most equipment works fine like this. Sometimes, in the case of some specialized equipment, like a Slingbox media server, the manufacturer will recommend setting a static IP address. You can have a combination of DHCP and static IP addressing. Step 1Obtain the static IP address that the equipment is required to use and write it down. Often this will be in the particular piece of equipment’s setup menu and will look like 192. 168. 1. 237 or similar. Find the equipment’s uniquely identifying MAC address and write it down. Often it will be printed on the case. Step 2Open the Verizon FIOS router’s configuration page by entering the router’s IP address in a browser. The default for Verizon’s Actiontec routers is Enter the User ID and Password that Verizon have given you. The default is “admin” and “password” or “password1. ” Step 3Browse to the “Advanced” tab and confirm that you want to proceed. Then click on “IP Address Distribution. ” Click on “Connection List” and you’ll see the DHCP connections listed. For example, you’ll see computers listed by “Host Name, ” which is the label you used when naming your computer initially. Step 4Click on “New Static Connection” and enter the IP address you want to use and the MAC address you obtained in the earlier step. Ignore the “Host Name” field. Click “Apply” and the device with the unique MAC address will be assigned the static address you have requested. Add more by repeating the steps.

Solved: Fixed IP address – Verizon Fios Community
I used to have Verizon Business Fios. It’s quite a bit more expensive. First, there is both Verizon Business Fios with a dynamic IP address (which is more or less equivalent to what you have now) and Verizon Business Fios with a static IP address. I also doubt this will fix your issue with PlayStation Vue. I had that for nearly a year when I just got fed up with the frequent video stuttering and freezing. Yours sounds like depending on which IP you get dynamically, they think you are someplace else. That’s a problem with their IP-to-geographic location mapping scheme (which are always a bit flakey) can see the basic plans here. Click on the Learn more link under the type of service you want (probably Fios Business Internet) to get the starting prices for each level (i. e., speed) of service. The prices quoted are for dynamic IP addresses. To see the cost for fixed IP addresses, click on the Customize & order button. On the left, there is a pull-down menu with the choices of Dynamic IP Address (the default) and Static IP Address. You can also choose to have a two-year contract or no (Down / Up – Mbps)Dynamic (2-year)Dynamic (no contract)Static (2-year)Static (no contract)75/75$85$90$105$110150/150$185$195$205$215300/300$110$120$130$140500/500$215$225$235$245940/880$215$225$235$245The prices quoted for 500/500 and 940/880 were the same at this time. I believe that is due to a promotion that ends on 11/14/2018. The bottom line is the price with no contract is $5 – $10 more per month depending on the speed and a static IP address is $20 more per ‘s the price for new business customers. (Transferring from residential to business Fios should qualify as “new. ” I know that going the other way did. ) That’s just the monthly fees. On top of that, there is an activation fee and either a modem rental or modem purchase. If you already own the modem you are using for residential service, you should be able to continue using of the offers bundled in a VoIP line in addition to the Internet service. That would not be of interest to you are looking at these prices and screaming, doing a spit take, eyes bulging out, etc. at the fact they are quite a bit higher than residential prices, remember these are not targeted at home users. I had Business Fios for over a decade and there are differences. I don’t think I had more than a half dozen issues in a decade and two of those were right at the beginning. Verizon could have saved themselves those calls if they would have buried the fiber cable right away rather than having it mowed over by the grounds people at the neighboring school. Twice. That’s another story, but suffice it to say that I was back up with a new fiber line run in less than 24 hours both times. Whenever I did call the business customer support line, a person answered in 2-3 rings. There was no queue. A couple of times when I needed some low-level network support (such as setting up a reverse IP to domain mapping), I got passed to a network engineer very quickly. They resolved the issue while I was on the line usually. If they couldn’t, they called me back when they did. Business Fios is a different product for a different audience.
