Everything is a cost to an ISP, this is broadband everyone gets  a "24/7
on" service, there is no excuse to be charging people extra for a static
IP,s  leta lone ipv4,but i know fully well some marketing depts out
there are going " Oh goody goody I see  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$"

That sadly is human nature

Why would they go up? is this real estate now, where ripping people off
is the norm when there i a lack of supply.. profiting I believe they
call it :)
