Shane:

I think an important question would be what level of service are they
buying.  Including 255 address with a T3 would be very reasonable, less so
with a T1, not very reasonable with DSL, and ridiculous with a dial-up
account.

There is generally a charge for additional IPs with DSL (or co-location)
services because it is so cheap. You don't usually find this with T1 and
above.  But everyone's pricing is different.
