I need to get a static IP address at my house, but Verizon wants to bend me over for the cost.

Right now because of a huge fuckup on their part, I get 6 months of their 25/20 line for 1/2 off, I'm only at month #2 now, but in order for me to get a static IP, I need to get a biz line and I loose the discount on the internet AND TV, which would basically double my bill each month, if not more.

I was looking around for a few solutions, but im sure there is someone else who has done this before. I read you can order an IP from these companies then just change your DNS settings, but i have no clue and they have no support.

Why do I need the static IP? because a client that I have, they only whitelist IP addresses to access their server to pull reports and stats from. Also, when Im on the road, would be nice to access my NAS drive that has files instead of always having to back it up to a portable HDD drive.
