And there you sprung into a trap. You will be the only one doing this and having no history and thus you stick out very well, as the new guy on the Internet every single day, from a similar prefix, but still accessing a similar set of hosts etc. I think I did a talk about that at CCC last year ;) You are blocking all the facebook/google+ like and the insane amount of advertisement (read: tracking) networks who are included on almost every page do you? As everytime you fetch a page, even if it is not the main site, you also hit them for an ad or a like-button (even if it is just the image and you don't actually click you hit their server) and voila you are tracked anyway. Giving dynamic addresses out thus only still have one valid reason: nomadic users and the ability to aggregate prefixes inside a network. Because when users are static, you just route a /36 to a location and route prefixes out of that to the users and voila. When they are nomadic/mobile you don't want all those millions of /48s polluting your iBGP though. For every other case, dynamic addresses just make no sense, except for the cash cow that they are and that is the real reason that is the default being offered, as technically they cost more money.
