Here in Portland, that clause was *removed*.

@Home does static IPs exclusively. The only time they change your IP on
@Home is when network load or maintenance dictates it. AT&T is NOT
@Home and never will be. Thank God. I used to have to deal with them
from the inside...@Home did the right thing and got screwed by AT&T, Cox
and Comcast for it and I really hope they get nailed for collusion
(though if it hadn't been for that, I probably wouldn't have gotten a
better paying job, but still, it sucks when Christmas is exchanging
packs of generic cigarettes with your roommates in a cold house).
