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. Our dynamic DNS service is quite popular - http://www.dns24.ch.
With DHCP, the address should not change, so long as it's renewed within the lease time. So, if your firewall/router is always up & connected, then the address shouldn't change.
As usualy, it depends. One of my dynamic DNS customers has a host that had 8 different addresses in the last 30 days. Other hosts (he was some 20-odd) remained static for the last 30 days, but had 131 different addresses since 1 January.
