Are you sure you have investigated all of your options? Remember,
with DSL, the phone company just provides the line. Although they'd love to
be your ISP as well, you can always opt out. Try calling a bunch of smaller
ISP's in your area and ask about having a static (or 5) IP over your DSL
line. I bet you can find one you can talk into it.
Have you investigated ISDN, Wireless, and Fractional T-1? Some of
these are affordable for small business, and they all come with static IP
connectivity.
Why not co-locate? You provide they box, and it can be much cheaper
than leasing a dedicated server. And before you sell out colocation and
dedicated host, remember all the pluses that they offer: redundancy, power
back-ups, higher latency, scalable bandwidth availability.
Finally, if you don't need all of the pluses above, and don't care
about downtime and service outages (DSL is far from 99.9% reliability), why
do you need a static IP? Most ISP's set their leases to indefinate - as long
as the connection is on, your IP won't change. Write a script to update DNS
everytime your connection is reset.

Subject: RE DSL IP ROBBERY
Is there a way an experience tech (their probably going to have one) can
hide the fact your not on a dedicated server or is it impossible to mask?
Im sorry if it seems like Im flipping out! but this DSL/CABLE COMPANY IP
buck sucking is crazy
at first there selling point was always on! no noise, the new wave what they
really mean is pay but don't use!then pay some more people in general are
stupid!they think MERGERS HAVE SCREWED US ALL WAKE UP
Its only a matter of time before super big business feel they suckered
enough surfers on line to start pricing us off line completely, I can see
hosting fees being on the level of a mall one day and online product prices
going through the roof
and if your companies not worth millions your just like the rest of us too
