In my area (Tracy, California), people who have have Internet connections with static IP's know it and pay handsomly for such. All other connections are dynamic. Even so, some providers apparently do not change the dynamic addresses assignments. My guess is that enough people want remote access to their home LAN and complain loudly if their WAN address changes.

My dynamic IP used to be fairly static, now every time I reboot the router I get a different /16 if not /8. If you still have a somewhat fixed dynamic IP it probably means your ISP hasn't upgraded your neighborhood yet. (ISPs are generally moving to encapsulated packets shipped around over private address space and/or IPv6 rather than using a traditional routed subnet for IPv4 leaf nodes.)
