"HA HA Budys Here"

No.
The cable line (Rg-6 coaxial cable) first runs into a cable modem. From
the
moden you connect to a network card on the computer with Cat5 or Cat6e.

Stated in simpler words - one cable modem per cable entering the house.
Don't ask why. You'd have to be stupid to pay for more cable modems per
house. Each modem would be sharing bandwidth anyway, just like a home
network hub does. Waste of money.

The company won't give you that extra modem for free, either, because the
registered hardware address is all it needs to get on the company's
network - you could give the modem to any neighbor with cable TV and they'd
be likely be able to tap into the network too.

Further, most internet providers charge extra for "home networking" -
another waste of money unless you can't read and follow the simple
instructions required to set up your own network.

Wireless networking is no-brainer and cheap. The components come in blister
packs at Home Depot these days.

Let them get the modem set up on 1 computer, as is usually included in
installation, then go buy the wireless network components and read the
"quick setup" instructions. In the end, you'll have as many computers as
you want screaming on the internet by simply installing a wireless card in
each, pay 1 monthly service, no holes and mess all of cables all over the
house (and the costs of having someone drill all those holes), and no extra
monthly "home networking" costs.
