Your IP changes pretty much every time the PPPoE connection resets. How often that happens is mostly up to the reliability of your equipment, mine on average drops once every 90-120 days (excluding when I reset it myself)
The PPPoE session can also survive a VDSL resync, but only if you use your own router and set the timeout higher than the default.
All in all, it rarely changes IP unless your equipment frequently crashes or power cycles. Though like any ISP if you need a true fixed IP you'll need to pay for the business service.
