My guess: they can do it, but they will not do it. ISPs will prefer to charge extra for anything that results in a static address. Simply because they can do it.
Well, my ISP didn't charge me anything extra for IPv6 or a consistent prefix. In fact, when I changed modems last year, to enable IPv6, my bill (for Internet, TV & home phone) dropped by about $50/month, for pretty much the same services.
You must have some really greedy ISPs there, considering IPv6 addresses are so plentiful.
Indeed.
I switched to fibre perhaps two years ago, I don't remember. I'm still paying a concept that is maintenance of the copper pair inside the and outside the house, including terminals - now moot on fibre. I have asked the company to remove that concept from my invoice. They say yes, of course, but a year later and several calls they keep doing it.
Similarly for dropping the line from my holiday apartment. Another year and several calls.
Yes, they are greedy.
Correction, the maintenance service was indeed removed, but the monthly fee increased again so that I do not see the drop. They are also charging me about 1€/month for the call ID, and another for unconditional redirect service. Correction, 1.6€ each service. I think I will request a drop of speed from 300 to 100... :-/ -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
