WOW... they really nail you on business in Long Island.
CableVision in NJ (at least the Oakland office) does their business class
cable internet thru a company called "Lightspeed" (maybe a division of
Cablevision, I don't know). They want $99/mn for business class. However,
that is per computer (as all cable companies like trying to do). I
haven't read the TOS for them to see if that per computer is real, or
just a scam. I have read the Cablevision TOS for residential ($50/mn) and
although they plaster all over the place it is per computer, the actual
TOS specifically states that it is per public IP and that you are in fact
free to run a local NAT router and connect as many computers internally
as you please. The only "penalty" is you void your rights to support
until only one computer is connected again (so basically, they say go
ahead and do it, but you are on your own if you do so).
