The last time I called Mediaone to change MAC addresses the whole
process took a few minutes. Most of the time was spent rebotting the
Cable modem because some jerk (me) forgot to connect the cable from
the cable modem to the NIC so we were picking up the wrong address.
However, when you do call customer service they do have to bounce you
around because the first person you talk to can only answer your
questions, not make any changes.
