Go to http://www.arin.net/ (the American Registry for Internet Numbers),
enter "sbc" in the search box, and look at the pages and pages of ranges 
that come back. They have a lot more than four Class B blocks.

You are lucky,

Many cable companies are using static IPs for their customers.  IF the
box uses DHCP it is often only for the computers attached and they can
change, but over a limited range depending on where the range is set.
Those addresses, being internal (isolated from the service by the
"box" can be virtually anything set within the limits of DHCP and you
can change the limits of DHCP on some boxes.

With 4 computers it only took about one minute to get the thing to
reassign the computer IPs.

I'm now using ADSL and it works much the same...just a different
router.
