IP Numbers/Addresses

Big apologies if this has been asked before but I have a brain like a sieve.

We have now moved from our home to a new office and BT has supplied us with a shiny new router.

Does this mean we have a new IP number/address thingy?

Also

We have gone from BT broadband to Sky broadband at home, again with a shiny new router for Sky, does the same apply, do we have a new IP number/address ?

OR

Does the number/address stay the same until you move house ?

Domestic connections tend to be dynamic, basically they do change every so often.
How often depends on your supplier.

Thanks for that Curly, means I can now register again in places that I have been unwelcome in.
PS what does dynamic mean ?

Dynamic - It changes
Static - It doesn't
