    there is a series of numbers to the left of the posts, in my case its 90.242.81.226
    this the ISP address is it, and should remain constant ?
    Mine has changed why is this?

    It's Dynamic

    Because it's a Dynamic IP Address as opposed to a fixed one.

    U R right

    it is the ISPs IP address, but in your case it is a dynamic one (constantly changed). There is nothing to worry about. Generally, static ones are dearer, and allow you to host websites etc ..... but if you are just generally browsing then you should be fine.
