I've been on TWC, both with and without the static.  Frankly, the speeds
they offered in the static business class sucked hind tit like nothing
I'd ever seen.

At any rate, I've been on their dynamic service since December, and have
had the same IP address the entire time.  I threw a Smoothie
(www.smoothwall.org) on it, used the no-ip.com dynamic DNS client
(included!) and bang - things have been great!  (Well, as great as can
be on cable.)
