My isp only offers a dynamic ip, I figured how to make it static.
Is there anything wrong with that?
I just fiddled around with my own hardware did not touch their hardware (cablemodem)

There is no possible way you can give yourself a static IP - your ISP controls that. 

Well, I did it, I set the last assigned IP to my router as static, then I changed the dns to a public dns service. I reset the cable modem and even changed the mac addy on the router to test it, and it keeps the ip.

So?  That means your ISP hasn't changed your IP address.  But they can at any time, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it.
