It really depends on the ISP. Back when we were still using A1 (what used to be the Austrian telecom basically), we would receive a new IP address every time we reconnected. Now after switching to Liwest (a very local provider, only serves this city and some small towns around it) our IP is for all intents and purposes static, even though it wasn't advertised as such.

- dEnigma 8y agoWe used to turn them off as soon as we stopped using the internet (this was also before any of us had a smartphone). I think the ISP also cut the connection every 24 hours and changed the IP to prevent people from having a static IP "for free".
