Actually ISP's that renumber their customers regularly are performing
a DoS on their customers which actually may be illegal rather than
just a contract violation as they are deliberately breaking existing
connections.  I've seen software updates take longer than a hour
to download.  They also can't in good faith be said to be delivering
the Internet.  They generally have to break protocol default behaviors
and write specialised servers to get this broken behaviour.  There
is a expectation that when you renew a lease that you will get the
same address unless it is a exceptional circumstance.
