wow. i'm glad i don't have to go through all that. i have cable vision...which seems to lose track of the fact that i've registered my cable modem with them 3 times already...so periodically my internet goes out, and when i call they say "ah HA! (like they are thinking they are clever) you have not registered your cable modem!" so, yes, I'll see you there.
opt-online does that same thing...they're ALL evil!
