Do you really want to pay for a static IP? I'd go IPv6 instead.
I learnt my v4 in the days of 10-base-2, and I'd really love to update
to punching holes in a v6 router. Limited risk, and no worries about
static IPs, NATing, all that legacy stuff ... :-)

So, IPv6 can be assigned without payment to an ISP? Besides having
static IPs without bandwidth connections routed (assigned) to those IP6
addresses are not useful?
If I go IPv6, where does the bandwidth come from?
From your ISP?
The OP's ISP charges EXTRA for a static address, which shouldn't be the
case seeing as they have oodles of the things. Or maybe I'm out-of-date,
seeing as my ISP in the old days provided a static IPv4 free of charge
as a matter of course.

Here is the US, too few regulators even comprehend your arguments or
the state of commercial routing and networking. If ordinary folks can
get their porn in a web browser, robustly, then it is classified as a
'great ISP'.
What folk, with some measure of expertise, have, can and want to do, is
often only comprehensible by third level support as these ISPs, if you
get lucky. Free static IPs? Sure I like that idea, but I'd need a
current link as in the US I think that was some years ago. I'll file for
some, in a heartbeat, if anyone can point me to the registrar. Note::
here in the US, it may be easier and better, to just purchase an
assignment, that renders them yours. I'd be shocked if you do not have
to pay somebody residual fees, just like DNS.
So sense there seems to be interest from several folks,
I'm all interested in how to do this, US centric. I think each country
sets policy on IP allocations from their (IP6) pool. A dozen or (2)
pools, so I can test IoT gear, would be keen for my interests. For IoT,
on aerial vehicles, the restrictions extreme, if you believe what has
been published.
Very, Very interested in this thread.
Another quesiton. If you have (2) blocks of IP6 address,
can you use BGP4 (RFC 1771, 4271, 4632, 5678,5936 6198 etc ) and other
RFC based standards to manage routing and such multipath needs? Who
enforces what carriers do with networking. Here in the US, I'm pretty
sure it's just up to the the
Carrier/ISP/bypass_Carrier/backhaul-transport company)....
Conglomerates with IP resources, pretty much do what they want, and they
are killing the standards based networking. If I'm incorrect, please
educated me, as I have not kept up in this space, since selling my ISP
more than (2) decades ago. The trump-china disputes are only
accelerating open standards for communications systems, including all
things TCP/IP.

James
