What roadrunner does is log your mac address when you sign up.  When 
ever you add additional machines that need a public IP they record it 
and set their DHCP server to only serve known mac addresses.  They 
may also have mac locked switches.  You're computer won't work 
without NAT or an additional IP payed for.  For some reason colleges 
do this in dorms too.
