Unless I missed the point of his post, he was suggesting a way to
change ip address, not get the same one (as per the title of this topic). Doing a release/renew will not get you a new ip on ntl - you will pickup the same ip again. Also, the leases in Nottingham are 2 days, not 4 hours, I don't know if this is the same elsewhere.
