One of the reasons I switched and/or chose best.com (northern
california, silicon valley region) and why I've stayed with
them these past three years or so is because they advertised
static IPs for everyone. I am not sure they still do for
the person who wants a hookup today, but they still do for
those who started with that service as I do.
I'm not *that* much of a line hog, but it's unlimited-use, and
I pay $30 per month. That's a little more than the average
$19.95 for an ISP connection these days, but we also have
a shell account and 30 megs or so WWW/ftp space.
If it doesn't take up a whole lot of time on the admin's part,
I don't see why most or all ISPs don't do static IP.
