How often does your IP change? I've seen mine not change for years. Any time the router restarts. The other day the router was working but the connection was down, so I had to power cycle the entire setup, and the IP changed again.
WOW! Mine changes so seldom it's virtually static. Also, my host name is based on my firewall & modem MAC addresses, so it doesn't change unless I change hardware. My IPv6 prefix is also consistent. It took replacing my firewall computer & fresh pfsense install to make it change.
My ISP is capable of claiming they do it for backward compatibility with ADSL and modems :-p I suspect they will do the same when they implement IPv6. I would even bet on it, except that I never bet :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
