OK.  Let's see if I get this right: ISP is charging you $48/year to change
ONE line of .conf ONCE.  That boggles the mind.  That is the promised land
of infinite markup.  It is cheaper for the ISP to use static IP.  

The customer has to go through all sorts of contortions and confusions to
deal with dynamic IP.  DHCP is, if I'm not mistaken, a relic of a bygone
dialup age.

They charge you EXTRA for BD/SM.

And then you praise the least costly.
