setting up cable internet connection

[Leon Phelps]

Alimin Bijosono Oei,

One thing I'd look out for is the type of cable modem (router/gateyway)
they provide you with. I've seen someone that were USB only (why I dont
know), and that would have an added amount of effort to get it to work if
it will work at all.
