Are you running any servers? I can't find it now, but I remember reading somewhere once that ISPs force IP changes more often on residential users that they detect are running servers.

I've been running a web server for the last year or so, and I still have the same IP from Comcast that I've had for years. When I was a teenager I also ran servers and had a stable IP for years. Ostensibly they say you're not allowed to run servers, but I'm guessing they'd only care if you're constantly using a significant chunk of your bandwidth.
