Just a data point not not an open invitation to restart the discussion:

The Telocity (now DirectTVdsl) service does provide static IP ADSL
for $49/mo in most all metro Atlanta COs that also offer BellSouth or
EarthLink.  Their static IP, encouragement (but no support) of services
on your end with no real restrictions, Domain parking for no additional
cost and Linux/UNIX support are nice features for some.

You should also note some folks have spoken dissatisfaction with their
service while others are happy.

These are just my opinions as a DSL consumer.
