depends! Some ISP's allow only 1 login so you may get a deny. Some return the static and if they are both on the same RAN then hopefully the RAN will reject the 2nd one (and assign from the pool). If on differant RANs then both get the same IP and routing gets a bit messy, someone reports a fault and we spend time finding the problem then tell the ISP to sort it out!

what happens if you login in two places?

1st one keeps the IP and second one gets random one? or what?
