- Dynamic addresses is a way to differentiate residential customers (who pay less) from business customers (who pay more).Which is both specious and obnoxious.
It is a business choice, which you may or may not agree with.
Given a choice between a provider which does this and one who does not, I will always choose the one that does not. Unfortunately, there is no PON vendor in my area, so I live with com cast business (on a dynamic IP because I refuse to pay their absurd mark-up on IP addresses). Given a PON vendor in my neighborhood, I'd drop Comcast in a heartbeat.
You can obviously vote with your wallet. In a market with rather thin margins, where most residential customers are happy with dynamic addresses, I find it entirely unsurprising that some companies would like to differentiate between customers this way.
