No extra cost. Just standard DSL user but then I did get in early. Which also gave me 8 IP numbers I could use, AND reverse dns for them. Pretty powerful stuff.
I think they may have changed that package since then. There is an ISP local to me (northern california) that offers a DSL package with IPs.
I should have been clear that I am my own ISP. But I dont charge other people for ISP services. There shouldnt need to be any special arrangment if you dont charge people. You might want to ask though since some of them do nasty things like block port 25 (email server port) to make sure you use the dsl only for yourself.
If they do have a problem then they probably would tell you that you need a business DSL line but thats not bad anyway since it tends to be faster and matched speeds instead of the usual home-user arrangment of giving you more download speed than upload speed. (384/384 instead of 384/192)
