Sorry to respond twice. It only just occurred to me that I should comment on this as well. What your ADSL modem connects to at the phone company isn't a modem or a router, but I can't remember any more what it's called. (It's been eight years since I needed to know.) However, if you think of it as a dumb router that does nothing except DHCP and passing packets, you'll be close enough. The point is, that device has a fixed pool of IP addresses, all from the same subnet, to pass out. Thus, as long as you're connecting to that device, you're going to get an address from the same block.
