    You can't; broadband internet access makes it into your home through the coaxial cable that carries the singal for your cable TV. As this is the only source of the information, it is the source that must be used.

    To connect existing boradband access via coaxial cable, the cable will come out of the wall and go to a modem, and that modem will then connect to your computer, via ethernet cable, to provide internet access to the computer.

    Hope this helps :)

    Even if you bought a cable modem and connected to the cable tv it would not work. You need an account with an id and password to login.

    Nope. You need a cable modem and the cable modem must connect to an ISP in order to connect to the Internet.

    You need the cable company to transmit the connection over your line. In other words you need to pay them for what you want.

    You need to subscribe to the cable company for internet service. Otherwise you're just SOL!!
