In my area (Tracy, California), people who have have Internet

people want remote access to their home LAN and complain loudly if
their WAN address changes.
My dynamic IP used to be fairly static, now every time I reboot the
router I get a different /16 if not /8. If you still have a somewhat
fixed dynamic IP it probably means your ISP hasn't upgraded your
neighborhood yet. (ISPs are generally moving to encapsulated packets
shipped around over private address space and/or IPv6 rather than using
a traditional routed subnet for IPv4 leaf nodes.)
Yes -- I believe Comcast is doing that in Pleasanton. I will need to
figure out dynamic DNS when my connection changes.
