Back in 2009 when I asked my ISP for a fixed range, they asked "what would you like?" which kindof threw me. I think I ended up with a /48. The fun bit was when I asked them to delegate the reverse lookup.
When I first got on the Internet, back in the dark ages, I had a static IPv4 address. However, I suspect that was because I was using SLIP to connect, which does not provide automatic configuration, the way PPP does. When I was at IBM, in the late 90s, I had 5 static IPv4 addresses, one for my computer and four for testing. Same with 5 SNA addresses.
