How could Time/Warner possibly preclude me from using another NIC? What if
the card went bad or I plugged in my laptop? I agree with Mark; they can't
possibly keep track of MAC addresses over any long term. I'd guess whenever
the IP address lease expired things might re-sync without any user
intervention.
I live in Sugar Land & my modem is a Toshiba PCX2200. I just pull the power
& count to 15. It seems to solve the problem.
In the evenings and during most of the day I see around 2.5Mbps, in the wee
hours of the morning I've seen it get bursts up close to 5 Mbps.
