Yeah, it's a pretty ridiculous thing. I know companies want to make money, but come on this is just abusing the less technical people. I always balk when I see companies like cox and the bells charging $10 per month for static IP addresses? That's terrible, it takes no more work on their part to allow more than one IP or give a static IP than it does for anything else. I can't stand that they do this, and they get away with it. I wish there was something that could be done!
