Not if you don't live in the US.  There are no options here that are  
at all cheap.  Usually you get a flat "we don't do that".  And they  
don't do v6 either.

And people wonder why NATs proliferate... much of the world has no  
option but to live with them.  This is a direct result of policy  
discouraging IPv4 address allocation.
