Comcast Business customers in good standing and paying for one or more Static IP address should be able to set these PTR records up on their own within the customer portal.  There is no compelling reason I can see not to offer this functionality.  Shouldn't have to beg support for literal DAYS to get this done.

Especially since you have a 50/50 chance (ok, realistically less) of your ticket getting passed to someone who either A. knows what IPv6 even is or B. will complete the request properly the first time.... or the second time.... or in less than a week.... (Ask Me How I Know™)

You're right, we should be able to request PTR records in our account. The website can verify the IP even belongs to us, provide error-checking instead of us having to read the IP over the phone, and if Comcast still wants to exercise control, the request could go into a queue that a human just has to review and hit 'approve' on.

But apparently all that would be too efficient and sensible for a technology company to.... well, use technology.
