Or you can do as I do and host services that need static IP and unrestricted port access on various VPSs somewhere else, and use ipv6, dynamc-ip and ddns for home machines. I use zoneedit to host my DNS, and a very simple script to update it on my frewall (basically, a wrapper around wget). Because Optus changes IP only when you power cycle the cable modem, this works for me: it's rare that my ipv4 address changes.
