It depends on when they do system maintenance. As long as their system is up, and you stay connected, you should keep renewing the same IP. AFIK most cable/dsl ISPs give you a 3-7 day lease on an IP. If you're still on at the end, it's generally just renewed, and most routers will let you release/renew your IP to keep the lease current. If they bring their server down, then you probably won't get the same IP back when it comes back up. Also, if you're off-line when your IP expires, it won't renew until you're back on, so again you'll likely to get a new one.
