However, it is limited depending on the plan you have. You can't simply
plug 4 quad ethernet cards and have 16 dynamic addresses. I don't know
if they are actually checking how many IP addresses you used.
With standard "high speed internet", they allow 2 dynamic IP addresses
per customer. For bussiness packages, they allow more (5 dynamic for
SOHO, 8 dynamic for professinal, 1 static and 8 dynamic for bussiness).
You can get additional dynamic and static IP addresses for a monthly
fee, however this option is available only for SOHO, profesional and
bussiness packages. 2 static addresses are something like $20/month.
