The only way to know for sure is mimic the setup MTC CSR's support. If the normal method is connecting with a windows vpn client, you will have to try that from your wife's computer. If it doesn't work, I would say you can go to them with concrete proof that something is b0rked between wymount and mtc. We linux users know the drill...
"hello comcast/other isp .... The internet is down..." "okay open internet explorer..." "I don't have internet explorer, will konquerer work?" "... Uhhhh... I'm sorry we don't support that call back later <click>.." "b-b-b-ut!!!"
