Getting a static IP at home? (self.homelab)

I currently pay 70$ a month for residential 50/50 Ziply fiber internet in Oregon. On the ziply website it says it would be 50$ a month for 100/100 small business fiber. Would that let me get a static IP, port 25 unblocked and reverse dns? Are there any strings attached as it seems strange for small business internet to be cheaper than residential?

I would be surprise if an ISP would let a house get the business plan.

Not true where I'm at. Lots of professionals have "work sheds" that need to be fed business class internet.

Not really. At least not where i live. For a small extra fee you can get a buisness connection at home. The speeds will let you go beyond what the normal home plans offer. Although you can still get 50/50 for buisness if you wish.
