I technically have a dynamic IP, as the ISP also sells an upgrade to a guaranteed static IP which I don't pay for.

However, I've been getting assigned the same IP consistently since 2013. I used to use a dynamic DNS service to keep track of it but stopped doing that since it never changes.

It never changes until it does. And eventually it will. Just be ready for it to change if anything you count on relies on it. I know this from experience (and far more than just mine).

P.S. - I pay for a static IP from my ISP. Don't count on that never changing either. I know this from experience.
