All of the cable modem subscribers I know have dynamic IPs assigned by DHCP. A suitably aggressive DHCP client can usually keep the lease renewed so the IP doesn't change, but they are most certainly not static IP addresses.
Yep most I know are DHCP - but it is more of a feeble attempt to stop ppl from running web servers and it eliminates the install techs from having to do as much configuration. But for the purposes of address stewardship - there is no savings of address space in this scenario - they are up 24x7 and if they loose their connection they usually come back up before they lose their lease. So for the purposes here - they are statically addressed. ARIN's dynamic address requirement is intended for the purpose of address conservation - not for ease of configurtion. -- I am nothing if not net-Q! - ras () poppa clubrich tiac net
