Sounds like a sticky IP, so it could change at anytime but more than likely not.

On the money. You'll be on a dynamic IP so there is a possibility it could change. A static IP will set you back about $10 per month.

Dynamic IP with quite a large timeout before it gets a new one if I remember correctly, I'm fairly certain I had the same IP for the entire year I was with Slingshot. Quite a nice system really, Good for those who could do with a static IP but its not vitally sensitive and can adjust stuff if it changes now and then.
