have a high-speed Internet access account, you need to set up an account with your local cable service provider.
Choose
one

not
have a high-speed Internet access account, your cable service
provider will set up your account and become your Internet Service Provider

Wide Web, and receive other Internet services. When you contact your cable
service provider, they will ask you for the serial number, the Media Access
Control (MAC) address, and the WLAN data MAC address of the cable modem.
These numbers appear on a label located on the side of the cable modem. The
serial number consists of a series of alphanumeric characters preceded by
S/N
