        how much is Optimum Online charging you for each of the five?

        practically, you can not buy IP addresses. you can buy companies 
        who have the right to use IP addresses (hard), or you can go to
        ARIN and justify your own "right to use" (not as hard, but then
        you have to deal w/ your ISP accepting routes for them),  -OR-
        switch ISPs.

        if you are willing to wait for a while (12-18 months) - rumors are
        that folks might be able to swap/trade their IP space IRU's fairly
        easily...  but thats just a rumor at the moment.  Check the ARIN
        meeting minutes for the SAT mtg last week.
