If you have ever renumbered your entire network due to changing upstream
providers or running out of IP, you will wish you had used DHCP everywhere.

And to take it one step further, I've never understood using DHCP for
customers. It makes it 10x easier for a rogue client to get on your network if
you run DHCP instead of just static. You don't have to maintain any logs, or
worry about your DHCP server having problems, etc. It seems one step easier
than DHCP.

PPPoE
Y'know, I've never understood why many ISPs are so fond of PPPOE. The only
benefits anyone has ever articulated to me are an alleged improvement in
ease of tracking customer-IP associations, and your DHCP server and tower
logs should take care of that for you just as easily. In the meantime, you
risk annoying your customers, because they have to take special steps to
set up a new computer or router, whereas with a DHCP server things will
"just work" 90% of the time.
Not meaning to troll, I'm genuinely curious.
