Multiple IP addresses
I know MCA went away back in 2014, but I am on the Ultimate Plan and wanted to know if they offer the abillity to purchase more IPs.

The Ultimate plan should come with 3 DHCP IP's. It is not possible to purchase more, to the best of my knowledge.
To use them, you would typically need a switch after the modem for each device to draw it's own public IP. Have you tried using them and had a problem, or were you just asking the general question?
Modem > Switch > Router (IP1) > Other PC's
> PC 1 (IP2)
> PC2 (IP3)
What I am curious about is if Ultimate also gets you 3 IPv6 addresses. Haven't heard of anyone trying. Let us know how it goes.

Ah, didn't realize it came with three already !
I will try this now, will it work with an unmanaged switch.

Yes, and I suggest it to be unmanaged. Unless you enjoy the headache of subnetting.
