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.
No, it is not system maintenance here in germany. In fact it's part of the contract with the ISPs that you will get forcefully disconnected at least every 24 hours, even on DSL (which uses PPPoE here, so it actually is just a faster dialup connection). There are no IP leases and you can't influence what IP you get. This doesn't have a technically reason, its more due political and economical reasons. And AFAIK there are more european countries in which it is handled the same way.
To say it clear, a fixed IP (even when it is only fixed for a week) is something special you have to pay for in germany, and no ISP will give you something for free if he can actually charge a good ammount of extra money for it.
