[ale] Screwed by PPP0E

I had to switch last night.  The letter they sent said I would still  
have my IP address.  How can that be?  I wrote SF a note to ask if  
they were reducing my bill too.

I will probably go with bell if I can't have a static IP any more.   
Why pay SF $20 more than bell for nothing?
