About LinkBacksWhat do you have at home on your connection?
Is it a static IP address or do you have a dynamic which is supposed to change when you log out and back in ?
Static - I pay to stay 
Dynamic - change is good as it hides my ID
Unknown Allocation - I dunno but I can play on the interweb
What's an IP address ?

I'm with NTL and although I don't pay for a static IP, its hasn't changed for months. Which is handy cos I can access my home PC from work if I get bored and play about with it.
pay extra, about £15 per year for static.

Had the same IP since I first signed up with Nildram in November 2002. Nearly three years now! I don't pay anything extra for it as it was originally included in the ADSL500 thingy (2MB now though :> ).
5x dynamic IP address
Dropping to 4 when I move into my new apartment, but still dynamic.
My web server currently has a public IP address directly on it and is up 24x7, but will be behind a NAT router which will keep the IP and allow me to reboot the server without fear of getting a different address

Static from Plusnet as standard. Had the same one since I got ADSL.
I voted dynamic because I assumed you mean't my ISP. If you mean my private network, my router acts as a DHCP server for all computers accept my servers. All domain controllers and print servers are private static IPs.
If my router wasn't so good I'd probably use all static IPs at home, but it really doesn't buy me anything.
And yeah, dynamic does nothing to hide anything.
8 Static (5 usable) from Zen at Uni. Excellent ISP btw
I voted dynamic but its not good. I would like a static IP but BY are too thick to offer them
yeah that ^^
Bulldog now charge a fiver a MONTH for a static IP address!

I haven't specifically paid for a static IP but it seems to be pretty static... (Telewest)
It may be that I never log off...
Dynamic, and I wouldn't want a static! The only thing that sucks is my Team Speak servers IP changes tooo often. But its worth the inconvenience.
oh, and I have Verizon
Plusnet, static. Wasn't a reason I chose them but it is....
