trouble is that whoever you spoke to is not actually clued up, they are

did you ever stop to think that your ISP is either lying to cover their
laziness and incompetence or just speaking shit because they don't have a
fucking clue?
SORBS don't regard an IP as dynamic merely because another customer
will get it when you cancel your service. SORBS would regard an IP
statically allocated like that as a *static* IP, not a dynamic IP, if
there was evidence in whois or DNS to substantiate that fact.
if SORBS are listing it as dynamic it is because your ISP is too lazy
and/or clueless to properly register their networks blocks with ARIN.

there you have it - comments from a clueless ISP drone speaking shit to
cover their arse being used by a clueless end-user to "support" their
baseless whinge about the SORBS DUL.
