I hope you did what i am asking?
Did you give him all your information(like Address,Name,Phone Number, CA Number.......etc)?
In my case it was done in just 1 day. (2-Apr-2009).
I will try one more time.
Do all plans come up with a static IP. Why not switch to a plan which has dynamic IP & then maybe revert back again, if needed.
If all the other ideas fail. I will go through your idea.
