You know, this is very scary...the idiots at Paragon can't even get my 
cable box working.  I don't want to imagine the ways they could screw up a 
cable modem.  Also US West may be greedy but Paragon takes the greed to new 
heights.  I called them about my cable box not working, they sent someone 
out and then charged me $30 to replace their faulty equipment.  Then the 
cable box stopped working again about 2 weeks later.
