Which I thought was excessive and out of line with the competition. 
(Though since then, business grade FIOS has become available, and it too 
has a $20 or more premium for a static IP. But of these are higher than 
what most DSL providers charge for static IPs.)

When I talked to them several years ago, they said that servers were not 
permitted, even with the static IP offering, which of course doesn't 
make much sense. 

If you actually depend on the ability to run servers, I'd recommend 
making sure that such allowances are covered in the terms of service.
