What is the cost increase & process to convert from Residential FIOS to Business FIOS plan? (I require a static WAN IP address).

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone here has gone through the process of converting their Residential FIOS internet plan to a Business FIOS internet plan.

I need a static  IP address for my WAN connection (hosting small business websites and applications). I do not want to use a DynamicDNS service, so it appears a business plan is my only option (I wish Verizon offered the ability to "add a static IP for X amount per month" for residential plans, but what can ya do).

1) What should I expect cost-wise for a business plan? I currently have the FIOS 1 Gigabit plan (940/880 Mbps) and am paying $99/month (no phones or tv services, just internet).

2) Does the conversion require any changes to the ONT box in my home, assuming no changes in speed or wiring?

Would love to hear anyone's experiences with this. Thanks!
