The big providers probably categorise a static IP in their 
"enterprise/business" offerings. But both my provider here (Cruzio) as 
well as xs4all back in the Netherlands provide a static IP with 
configurable rDNS. For no fee or a minimal fee.

I guess it depends more on which type of provider you choose and their 
lousy el cheapo offerings. There are more providers than comcast, 
verizon and at&t. And I bet the majority of them are more knowledgeable 
(and less likely to do nasty things with your traffic).

Jeroen
