That would be pretty damning, if/when people get IPs like that. I run a php test server from my house that's always connected, so I check the IP pretty regularly to make sure my DNS is updating correctly. In ~2 years I've never received two IPs that were so close. I almost always get completely new values in all the ranges.

Not saying some ISPs don't have a very small range, or specifically give close IPs to people when they update their IPs. But if you're with an AT&T or a Time Warner in the states, they have a huge trunk of IPs to give out in each region, and they don't always care which you get.
