which is used to ensure you get the same prefix. afaik, there is no guarantee, although a provider's ipv6 range is so huge that reuse will likely never happen. RIPE hands out /28 by default I think and the minimum is a /32.
I have DHCP from my ISP on IPv4. The addresses change so seldom they're virtually static. The only thing that appears to cause a change is either the ISP makes significant changes in the network or I change hardware, resulting in a new lease.
Your provider probably has a sufficiently big range to permit that "virtually static" allocation. That's not always the case around here, even with the two-three bigger providers.
