I don't know about your provider, but my DSL connection is through Telus, and even though the dynamic IP address might change the hostname is static (xxxxxxxxx.bc.hsia.telus.net). You might want to check if this is so for you. If you do a reverse lookup on your IP address and the hostname returned does not contain the IP address it might be true for you as well.
