I don't pretend to know how things work where you are, but I have a static address, which I pay extra for, and it cannot be changed.  On the other hand, and as you probably know, a dynamic address may be changed at any time.
 
Many of my colleagues and friends tried to convince me that what I have isn't worth it, but to me it is, and after all, it is my money.  (-:
