ntl:Telewest Business Broadband don't call them "static IP addresses" (which they're not, given that they can and do change) but repeatedly call them "fixed IP addresses, when actually they are only "sticky" dynamic IPs.

eg. "Static addresses are also convenient, but not absolutely necessary, to locate servers inside an enterprise."
