Sure they'll know if you sign up for this, they're renting you the 
router, that's the 'Gateway lease'.  Note it's a "Gateway" not a 
"Cable Modem".  I have no problem with this.  They're charging a 
fee for coming in, setting up several different computers, a gateway, 
and getting this all to work.  Anyone who doesn't know what they're 
doing probably would jump at this.  Stick with the single cable modem 
lease, use your own router, and you should be fine.

   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
