Most ISPs assign IP addresses statically. Your only option is to request a change from them, and you'll need a better excuse than "I was IP banned from X website."
Power cycling your modem does not reset your IP address; for some reason, so many on here believe that it does.
If your IP is dynamic, it does. People do it all the time on 4chan. Very few ISPs use dynamic IPs anymore because it puts unnecessary strain on their DHCP servers.
I'd bet my life that those 4chan users are using a proxy, VPN, or spoofing their IP in some other form.
Actually, more and more ISPs are switching to Dynamic. Most people ban evade on 4chan by simply cycling their modem.
