For the people interested in this on going saga:
The tech guy came out to my house. The tested the signal at my house, drove around to the block, checked the signal at the "tap", found the problem was at the tap too, called up someone, and told me he could not fix my problem as it was an area wide problem. So I am SOL till they find a way to find their butts with thier hands.
Anyway, I did not beat him with the cable modem. He seemed to be suffering more then I was and looked like someone had already worked him over.
