This is true.  To get a static IP with Bellsouth, you have to upgrade 
your phone line to a business line, which is pricey,  and then they 
charge you more for the dsl per month as well.  I think it was quoted 
around $150/month increase once it was all done and said.

Speedfactory does not do pppoe, even on their dynamic connections, so 
there's no price increase to go with them and not have the overhead (and 
headache) of pppoe.  They do charge a bit more for a static, but I don't 
recall the actual price.
