A dynamic address is not a problem. It is a bit of a nuisence, but there are solutions. DynDns for you IPv4 servers and both he.net and SixXs offer heartbeat 6in4 tunnels that work with dynamic addresses.
I wonder - other than extracting money from their clientele - why ISP still bother with dynamic addresses. They are a relic from dial up Internet. Customers where not connected 24/7, but only as long as the dial up connection was live. So they could have more customers that they had adresses. But now with broadsband, the connection usually is on 24/7, so they need an IPv4 address for each customer anyway. Might as well make it static.
Now that they can't save addresses any more by making them dynamic, the ISPs have come up with another trick to deal with the shortage of IPv4 addresses. Sharing addresses among customers, by putting them behind a NAT. If they do THAT, yes you can expect problems.
