I have cable modem service with RoadRunner here in San Diego. I looked at
the link you provided. In case anyone thought otherwise, their statement
about a monthly fee for additional computers means that there is A fee for
additional computers. But you don't pay the full fee again! We are paying
one monthly fee for the cable modem for one computer, and we pay $5 each
for two other computers also connected by hub to the cable modem. We all
have simultaneous access to the cable modem, each get our own IP address,
for the regular fee plus $10 per month. (Plus it freed up our second phone
line.)
