Wrong.  You may think that but you are bound by their terms of service.
To do what you describe is an extra $5.00 per month.

Static IP?  $14.95 extra.

My Speedfactory service is the same speed as their Xtreme at $44.95 per
month.  I pay extra for the static IP.  $59.00 per month.  Seems to me
that $44.95 + $14.95 + $5.00 is more than what I pay.  Technically you
could cheat and not pay the $5.00.  Its the same as downloading illegal
music from Kazaa.  Stealing.....
