Same in South Africa.  I have a scheduled task that forces the
reconnect before the ISP does, and it seems that I can keep the same
IP address for a few weeks if I'm lucky.

btw, I'm not sure what firewall you're using, but another trick I
found (with iptables), was to use static nat, instead of dynamic nat -
i.e. recreate the SNAT entries in the ip-up script, instead of a long
lived MASQ entry.  This way the active nat connections are not dropped
when the connection restarts as long as your IP stays the same.
