when i used to work in TS, it was the mac address of the cable modem/ set top box that was registered in the BB+ management tool, and this controlled who got access and who didn't (sort of).

However, what you say is correct- the mac address of the modem does not need to change in order for a new ip to be leased, it is the pc's mac that will determine this.

It appears that BB+ access is now determined by client mac as well though... hmm......
