I could not stand the though of going with Vericity, so I went with MStar. My experience has been pleasant. After I got on the phone to get my 8 static addresses, they gave me a block, not a real subnet block, but a block none the less. After countless times of making sure they had me billed right, they still are not charging me for them. The e-mail should read that you can buy a block of address and only five are available because one is used for the gateway, another used for the NAT in the router and one is a broadcast giving you five usable addresses. It has nothing to do with e-mail addresses. This is standard subnetting. If you buy a block of four, you only get one for the same reason. I have been happy with Mstar.
