My ISP offers either a home contract, where the IP forcefully changes every 24h and I can't pay for static IP, or they offer business contracts for businesses with minimum 10 employees, but that contract requires proving you're a registered as business with the local chamber of commerce & have the tax paperwork.
Many people have no easy option to get static IP.

Wow, and I thought Comcast was customer hostile, this is just bonkers.
- kuschku 2y agoGerman ISPs are kinda weird like that. Unmetered gigabit FTTH for $70/month, no CGNAT, and open peering. 3 phone numbers and 2 phone lines included. But static IP isn't even an option. I've built custom dyndns scripts to automate everything away, so nowadays it's only a second of interruption (thanks to some DNS TTL trickery), but it's nonetheless really annoying to deal with.

In order to get a block isps need to provide a plan on how they will put the ips to good use for the benefit of society.
