You really ought to get the same IP address, then. The scheme is for
your DHCP client (most likely within your modem, unless you use it in a
bridge mode) to "renew" the lease before the expiry period.

If your ISP is changing IPs on you arbitrarily, I'd be looking for
another ISP. One that isn't so mismanaged.
