Re: New InsightBB SAS Registration Address

And honestly why the hell do they need to connect my service to my Mac address, with my former DSL provider and when I hade comcast years ago there was none of this crap. How does it help the ISP, I don't understand.

Re: New InsightBB SAS Registration Address

As I understand it. The MAC address thing is to make sure the account is only being used by one source. There may be some other reason that I'm not aware of though.

Re: New InsightBB SAS Registration Address

Unless I am missing something, if a cable modem is set up to only give one valid IP, what does the MAC number matter.

One paid for IP, then one issued, no matter what was requesting it.
