think you need to review basic networks and TCP/IP, your ISP has given you a /30 subnet this has 2 usable hosts with a network and broadcast address, a broadcast address is integral to a network, no matter what size, working correctly. there is a way of using the broadcast address but it is not a straight forward configuration and can only be used in certain circumstances.
