I have yet to see a broadband provider that configures a network so that individual nodes in the home network get global IPs.
The big providers probably categorise a static IP in their "enterprise/business" offerings. But both my provider here (Cruzio) as well as xs4all back in the Netherlands provide a static IP with configurable rDNS. For no fee or a minimal fee. I guess it depends more on which type of provider you choose and their lousy el cheapo offerings. There are more providers than comcast, verizon and at&t. And I bet the majority of them are more knowledgeable (and less likely to do nasty things with your traffic).
