I have heard that TelstraClear's Cable modems are static, but I bet that
they are really DHCP, and they have not started to roll IP's yet. Anyways,
They are static. The IP address is assigned at the time that a cable modem
account is created and is recorded on the customer's record.
AFAIK TelstraClear does not discourage running servers but will definately
hold the customer liable for any traffic charges over the monthly cap
resulting from running a server.
TelstraClear also does not discourage home networks sharing a Cable Modem, but
they will not support such a set-up and if a techie comes to troubleshoot a
fault they will only fix the connection from TC to one customer premise
computer running Mac OS 9 or greater or Windows 98 or greater.

TelstraClear's ADSL customers are on dynamic IPs.
Paradise *will* give you a static ip on ADSL, I have had one for many
years, pretty well since ADSL became available. (For a business it is
cheaper than dial up because of the local calling charges at 3.5c/minute
- it stacks up if you do a lot of emailing and browsing.)

... To write a sonnet you must ruthlessly
strip down your words to naked, willing flesh.
Then bind them to a metaphor or three,
and take by force a satisfying mesh.
Arrange them to your will, each foot in place.
You are the master here, and they the slaves.
Now whip them to maintain a constant pace
and rhythm as they stand in even staves.
A word that strikes no pleasure? Cast it out!
What use are words that drive not to the heart?
A lazy phrase? Discard it, shrug off doubt,
and choose more docile words to take its part.
A well-trained sonnet lives to entertain,
by making love directly to the brain.
