Precisely my point.  

I _have_ asked for a fixed IP (which is nice if someone wants to
register a domain - I do), but it was a real pain in the ass the
ISP would have rather avoided (calling their tech-support out of
their summer cottage to drop by the office and assign me an IP).

Hence why I asked if anyone knew anything about it on the list. :-)
