    My IP hasn’t changed in the four years I’ve lived here… why is there even a fee for that when I’ve seemingly gotten it for free?

      It’s for businesses where it’s cheaper to pay the ISP to guarantee that it’ll stay the same than it is to pay someone to fix things that break if it does change.

          That’s where most static IPs are sold, yes, but one does not guarantee the other. The business plan is more about getting priority over residential customers for repairs.

            Starting my DBA tomorrow! We here at Kait Co. require a static IP business plan!

      I had to pay for a static IP just this week because it turns out the new ISP uses CG-NAT.
