That is really too broad a statement to make about @Home's ip leasing.
Here in Victoria @Home is provided through Shaw Cable. Their leases
rotate on a 48 hour cycle. If your machine is not connected when your
lease is automatically renewed you could quite possibly get a new ip.
In fact, I have on 3 or 4 occasions already.

As a matter of fact, when I setup my cable modem with @home, I was not
required to use DHCP. They tell you you need it, but the tech who
installed
my modem said the use of DHCP was irrelevant, and told me to set a
static
IP. This is due to the fact that they re-lease the same IP address back
to
you every week.
