I've had various DSL and cable providers over the years, and never found 
my dynamic IP to change very often.  With Comcast now and my IP hasn't 
changed in a year!  Checking very 15 minutes seems to be a bit 
overkill.  Typically, you will have a IP lease time and then only swap 
out when the modem reboots.  For the small game server I run under my 
desk, I typically have dyndns only check once every 24hrs.
