Go to hell, bastard child.

Next week I get to repair my neighbors' network out of plain pity.

They pay about $50 for Comcast internet through a shitty SGB900 wireless cable modem. I hate the firmware on this pos.

The step-father is out of work, trying to do at home computer repair/sales. He has some nice gear, and is a nice person, but won't stand up to his step-son who has destroyed the network so badly, the only logical conclusion is that Comcast just simply shut them off.

The kid seriously beleives that he has to unhook the tv coaxial and directly plug into the modem for best speeds on his xbox360; killing off any network capability or tv-watching till he is done with his game. He is 24.

Poor dad, with his wireless N receivers for all his gear, only picking up a neighbors stray B-signal, a mere 15kb/s top.

I've got to figure out this mess next week, please kill me.

EDIT: I suspect this kid's real dad was the guy who said "Hackers can't hack over analogue (Dail-up connections)" then proceded to "downgrade" an ENTIRE hospital to 'improve' security after buying rj11>usb adapters to do so.
