I'm calling B.S. that is costs $20 for the upgrade. I owned MusicMatch since early 2000 something. I ended up costing me nothing to get the upgrade to Yahoo Music. The only problem I have with it right now is that it's sort of a resource hog.

You are a voice of reason. I thoroughly enjoy reading your replies, especially in this thread. I was going to add my own explainations but I think yours are right on the mark.
This isn't anything amazing. Even without the Linksys Cable Modem Gateway your cable company can see how many CPEs (devices) are connected and the bandwidth you consume.
These cable modems have been used by Time Warner Cable for a year (or some variety of them). And since you are connecting to THEIR network they have the right to know the number of devices and bandwidth consumed as any network admin does on any managed network.
