I sometimes wonder if ISPs do that on purpose, so that if your connection screws up and you do the ridiculous turn off and wait 15 minutes (as if your equipment were steam-powered), you might end up going through a different route.

That may well have been some shortcoming of the dire software he was using, but it certainly wasn't to do with DHCP. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.24.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 8 19:51:47 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
