Technically, the connection in my apartment has a dynamic address.  It
is high-bandwidth (suitable for streaming movies), low-latency, and high
reliability (basically only out when the power is).  Perhaps this is an
artifact of the fact Harvard is the landlord and provides the connection
to its nice university network, but I suspect that there are others in
similar situations out there.  A number of ISPs think that dynamic
addressing is more "convenient", whatever that means.
