If your UBR is heavily subscribed and the are only very few spare IPs available then sometimes even if you try all the normal tricks of leaving off your modem or router overnight, then all that happens is that once your MAC address is broadcast onto the servers and it goes through the DORA process which reads the MAC address and finds the previous IP is still available then you will be re allocated the same IP.
