Use the connection you posted this thread from.

wtf is 3 different internets?
IP addresses take a while to expire, so your computer uses the same one no matter what network you're connected to.

nice dubs but fuck you.
Every time you connect to your ISP you get a new address unless the ISP allocated you a static address. IP bans typically ban a range of IPs where you're likely to be because of this.
** no clue if this is what 4chan does
As for wat do, live out the ban, use a proxy, change ISPs. Or live out the ban that you probably deserve and reflect over your actions :-(

That depends on the ISP's setup. Nowadays it's pretty common to assign someone a single IP for a longer time (networking jargon calls this a "lease"). When the lease is up, your IP goes back into the pool and you pull another one, which might by coincidence be the same.
