Even if you paid for a Static IP address, they would probably say the same thing because the IP number would still belong to an ISP "dynamic" pool of numbers. The ISP would have to give you an IP number that was not previously from a "dynamic block" or it won't help you. There are publicly readable lists of dynamic assigned IP number ranges. They don't notice (or care) if a number in the middle of that is a static unchanging ip number.
