wait a min, did you say that they didn't allow you to have multiple devices which create more IP addresses in "your house"? I thought, as long as your get the devices and hook them up in your garage, they are all yours.
BTW, I thought only router can give you IP. I didn't know hub can.

The service was spotty in the early days so you'd be on the phone with them a lot and the tech would mention that I had multiple devices which was not allowed.
I'd say no I don't, he'd say I can see all the addresses that have been allocated to you.
So I'd explain to him, as I disconnected all but one device form the hub, that I was aware that they flushed their caches manually and what he was seeing was the same device in my house getting a new address after a power cycle.
He'd get the cache flushed and only see one address again.
