Also, if ye are just interested in a small portion, then just contact your ISP.

BTW, a block of what?
Class A, B, C, D, or E?

From the link you posted TF

Can I obtain a Class C address block?
No. IPv4 address ranges are no longer referred to in terms of classes (class A, class B, class C). Classful addressing methods, which waste address space, are now made redundant by Classless Inter Domain Routing (CIDR). In CIDR, address ranges are referred to by their prefix (or subnet mask) length. For example, APNIC's minimum allocation, /21 ("slash 21"), refers to 2048 addresses or the equivalent of 8 former class Cs.

The use of CIDR is a fundamental requirement for eligibility to receive IP addresses.

See Understanding IP addressing for more information on the transition from classful addressing to CIDR.
