I'm tired of all of the Time Warner Cable shenanigans.  The solution is easy.
Switch to an ISP that doesn't do this.  By staying a customer of Time Warner
Cable internet service you are only supporting and encouraging their actions
that you despise.

A list of Wireless-Friendly ISPs
http://www.eff.org/Infra/Wireless_cellular_radio/wireless_friendly_isp_list.html

The ones that service NYC:
-AceDSL, -Bway.Net, -Cloud9, -Covad, -Speakeasy

DSL install times are very quick now, especially compared to the old 60 day
install times.

Listen to what your ISP is requiring.  "remove all information on the
nycwireless.com website ...".  Guess this ISP is not only interested in limiting
your network usage but also limting your free speech.

Second requirement, "limit access only to permanent residents of your
household."  This means that if your friend comes over and sits in your place
with their laptop, you can't give them your WEP key.  Also don't have any guests
at your place sit down at your computer.  Maybe soon Time Warner will install a
video camera in your apartment, so that they can watch to see that you are the
only person using your computer, and the only person watching your television.
