Not true.  The Roadrunner implementation dynamically allocates addresses via
DHCP and connections to the cable routers are not persistant, but are torn
down when utilization ends...  Otherwise you would need a head-end cable
modem for each home...

Cable modem subscribers normally are not dynamically assigned IPs like
dialups.  Besides, they are advertised as a constant
connection, and a lot
of people use it as such.
