After lots of headaches and incompetence on M1X's part, they
finally got me a cable modem and a tech to actually turn the stuff on.
Interesting points :
1. They say RCN's cable modems are the same speed up and down
stream
2. The tech didn't flinch when I showed him my laptop booted into
Linux and said I wanted to install on this. Basically, he needed to tell
his Boss a version of Windows, but never asked me to boot into it.
Of course, I still don't have cable tv. He also only split the
line, not install a new one which the customer service waste-of-space I
spoke to said that was absolutely necessary.
Oh well, RCN will probably be here before my second month at the
new place is up ...
