Easiest way for most people to get around an IP ban is to simply turn your router off for a few minutes - most ISPs will recycle that IP and assign a new one to you.
Doesn't work if you have a static IP, but that is usually something you have to ask for specifically
I've had the same dynamic IP for nearly 3 years, except for about a day after a 2 day power and internet outage, I suspect that the IP only changed because of temp routing within the isp during the outage. I got my old IP back after less than a day.
