That depends on your ISP.  In my case I have to have static for some of 
the stuff I do, but people I know with dynamic have reported anywhere 
from like you a IP has not changed in years, to it will change several 
times a day.  One of our DSL lines at work is dynamic and changes every 
week or so.
