Confidence: Medium: ISP hints or confirms part of it; the rest is customer reports. WOW! itself says new installs get a private IP and a public one is free on request. That the private address is CGNAT comes from customer reports.

WOW!'s help center says new installs get a private IP address, and you can ask for a public one. Customer reports describe the private address as CGNAT (100.64.x.x).

If you are setting up new services with WOW!, you will be installed with a private IP address. If you choose to set up a public IP address, chat with us or call our team at (866) 496-9669 after your installation.
