In one case I know of (attbi in SF bay area) they will hand out a
temporary non-routeable ip to new NICs (by MAC), and let you interact with
their website to authenticate yourself and thereafter allow that NIC to
get a routeable IP address.
So there are no hard-and-fast rules or tricks for cable modems... only
likely or potential configuration issues.
