The whole idea that DHCP should only be used for (and is absolute proof of the status of) despised-class customers is just nuts.
I've never seen DHCP used on residential DSL circuits.. it's all PPP (oA mostly, and oE if you want) in this country (which the telco picks up and sends as L2TP to the DSL provider). I get alocated my /26 and it doesn't matter which LNS I connect to or how I get there (indeed I can talk L2TP directly to the provider to connect over 3G etc.). We do have providers that charge extra for static IP (although it's not as common as it used to be). I just wouldn't pick one that did so as it's not justifiable IMO (my current one gives me as many as I can justify at no cost).
