Cable does know who you are, and they also know what devices are connected to their cable. The cable modem has a device address, used in the same manner as a MAC address on the network adapter. Connecting two cable modems to your cable connection is going to cause the cable company to see both modems and wonder what is going on. Best case scenario is they leave you alone. Worst case scenario is they cut off your account and tell you to go butt a stump when you call to find out why you can't surf the web. There are no phone numbers associated with any of the computers or network devices at the school I work at. The Network admin knows when a new device has been attached to the network. Phone numbers are unnecessary and only help out people. They machines don't need them. They don't need any thing, or any one. Soon they will come for us. What's that Dear? Time for the happy pill?
