Are their systems configured to assign always this one IP to you and assign
it only to you? If so, it's static. If not, it's dynamic.
We have many clients with assigned dynamic IP addresses. They often receive
the same IP when they re-connect, but the IP may change.
Also, we have many clients we assigned one IP to them and they (and only
they) will get the IP, until status changes.
Your ISP's answer indicates that you really have static IP, but it doesn't
clearly say that. I would ask them for clearer explanation.

It seems that your ISP is incompetent either to understand what "statically
assigned" means, or to explain this to you and the SORBS...
