See? I told you they might be able to do something for you. :)

Just curious why you are still going to get the bridged IP addresses 
instead of the /29 block? With the routed block you only need to give 
them the MAC address of your router's external interface.. you'll get 1 
static/dhcp IP for your router's external interface, and a subnet 
allocation for your internal LAN. It is supposed to be included in the 
package but I guess it's one of those things you have to ask for.
