I'm not aware of any policy (we do both Dynamic and Static allocations for DSL depending on the account type.  Our preference is dynamic as it makes load balancing between POPs easier).

It sounds like someone's confused some wording somewhere in 6.2 of IPv4 allocation and assignment guidelines (http://www.apnic.net/policy/ipv4-guidelines.html)

"For services that are intended to connect the Internet on a permanent basis (for example cable, leased line, or DSL services), organisations may make static assignments without the need to provide additional technical justification.

Many networks will use dynamic addressing even for permanent connections. This may also be done without the need to provide additional technical justification."

G'day,

Thank you to the people letting us (and me via private email) know who
does and doesn't provide static IPs, but can anyone point me towards
this mystical APNIC policy?

Or we safely assume that there is no such policy?

Cheers!
