I thought it was only 1 static IP for the $99 price? (They don't seem to 
specify on their site.)

I still tend to think the incremental cost for a static IP with FIOS is 
not competitive with what the alternatives charge ($30 vs. $10 from most 
ISPs - that's a $240/year premium).

Of course if their TOS varies (to permit servers) with the static IP 
option, then the dynamic IP offering is a misnomer to call it business 
class.

I don't think they've lowered prices. Lets see...

The $50 option is indeed with dynamic IP, a 2-year contract, and a step 
slower (15/5 Mbps) than the $99 service (20/5 Mbps) (which also requires 
a 2-year contract).
