How is there more than one? Unless you need something slightly unusual like a static IP. Otherwise, everything should be covered by type of subscription, cost of subscription.

My IP hasn’t changed in the four years I’ve lived here… why is there even a fee for that when I’ve seemingly gotten it for free?

It’s for businesses where it’s cheaper to pay the ISP to guarantee that it’ll stay the same than it is to pay someone to fix things that break if it does change.

That’s where most static IPs are sold, yes, but one does not guarantee the other. The business plan is more about getting priority over residential customers for repairs.
