I guess my memory is failing me. I remember we had originally set up service with Popp Telecom, but they completely dropped the ball, so we went back to Qwest and said make us an offer. At the time I remember the deal was we got 1 IP address, to get 5 was a one time charge that was very small, nothing like $14.95/month (thinking back, this was around $30/year). Problem is many companies change the numbers around somewhat to mask actual costs. Last time I dealt with Eschelon for a client, the client was paying $5/month for 5 IPs, but I did figure out they were adding costs to the T1. Funny how these services just go up in price over the years.
