2 IPs from the same house?

[JayRich]

Hello,

Me and my roommate have issues with a game we play where it will not let the same IP on the same server. We currently have Bell Aliant Fibre Op (Atlantic Canada).

• 
  Is it possible for me to have two PCs come from a different IP?
  Can I do this myself?
  Can I pay a fee to my ISP to have two IPs?
  Would I have to get like another connection in my place (i.e. a dsl connection along with my fibre connection)?

I apologize if this question has been multiple times in the past.

Thank you very much for your help and I look forward to reading your suggestions.

Cheers

Ask Bell Aliant. Or get a whole other service - cable or DSL.
Seems a lot extra to pay just to play a game.

They generally will let you pay for more IP addresses or install a second connection for a fee. You may want to try a vpn service first if it does not degrade your game too much it tends to be cheaper than putting in another internet connection.

I will definitely be calling Bell to get their take on it, was just looking to get a general overview of my available options prior to contacting them. Also,we would split the cost of the connection and given I have a pretty decent relationship with my ISP, I feel I could get a discounted rate. Furthermore, I don't think it can be that expensive?

We tried a few different VPN services but canceled our subscription shortly after due to lag issues unfortunately.
