If you use it in modem mode you can set the same MAC in your router and you might get the same IP address.

it's possible he has had he's MAC Address banned as well rawsy, but as you say if it was just IP you could release and renew the IP
For widows
1) Click Start and type CMD in the search box
2) Right click on "cmd.exe" and then chose "Run as Administrator"
3) Type ipconfig /release and then press Enter
4) Type ipconfig /renew and then press Enter
For Mac OS
1) Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu, then click Network.
2) Select your service that uses DHCP (such as Ethernet or WiFi) in the network connection services list.
3) Click Advanced.
4) Click TCP/IP.
5) Click Renew DHCP Lease.
6) Open a web browser and attempt to connect to the Internet

ok that didnt work...still had the same ip address...anyways...i got the new superhub activated with a different ip address....would i need to change the mac addresss of my asus wireless router ? as i can see WAN and LAN mac addressses ?...
As soon as you change the MAC on the router the Virgin ISP will assign a new IP address. I personally dont use the SH as I find it very poor and use my own setup.
If the SH is modem only then you change the MAC on the main router and this will force a new IP from the ISP

Well I suppose my new ip is now logged into the the sites security server...so no point trying now LOL.... I give up....
You can release the IP and should be leased a new one
.See instructions above, somewhere.
If they don't test for Tor exit node IP then Torbrowser should work as everything that can identify you is disabled.
you used to be to flush the modem ip by a few commands in cmnd promt(well you could on a ambit 250 modem)
maybe try that and spoof your pc mac with smac,thats what i used to do when i had a dodgy modem many moons ago

this is weird...earlier on when i had the superhub activated my ip had changed, now it seems to have reverted back to my original ip..odd that,..
maybe its your pc nic mac when you registered with vm
Why not try registering/logging on using a 3G device, that will be completely different from your VM IP.
Why not
Give up.
