Odd thing, I work at Best Buy (Geek Squad). There was a customer that came in talking to me about Comcast. He said that they would not let him have a second account/second modem in the house. He was telling them the MAC address of the cable modem to get it activated and they said he already had one.
It depends on the way the DB's are setup. Some are archaic and didn't have the foresight when they set it up to see that in the future there might possibly be a need to have more than one provisioned MAC at a particular address -- that MAC is locked in to the physical street address and so that street address then can't be used again. And since the DB's are usually regional or even just local, it varies depending on the market.
HOWEVER, in some cases I've also seen they COULD setup a second account at an address, but are simply too lazy to. |
