Static IP?

OK dont know what's going on here, but I recently got my NTL box changed from a Pace 4000 series to a Pace 2000 Series because it is apparently more stable on the net. All is great, i havent had a crash since I got the new box (Box was crashing at least twice a day before) And apparently also the line signal was too high!? But anyway

With my old Pace 4000, I had the same IP address since I got my router, my router is always plugged in and switched on. It only ever changed if I changed the device that was connected to the cable box, like from Router to Back of computer, but the IP would always switch back when I changed the device back, I assume this was based on the MAC address of the connected device.

So why was I getting a seemingly static IP, and why am I not now?

And another one, how much extra per month will NTL charge me for a static IP and is it possible on NTL:Home?

Thanx
