Basic Internet Connectivity And Modem Help

[g38]

I have Comcast accounts in two homes - in California and Michigan. The Michigan account has tv and internet, California only tv. Will my Michigan cable modem be recognized as valid in California? I guess the question boils down to: Is the modem mac address in a Comcast national data base?

Thanks for any insights forum folks can provide.

I think people have written that it might work to move a modem to a home connected to the same headend. But it's extremely unlikely that it would work going to a different headend, let alone a totally different state.

Thanks - I assumed that that was the case. But it couldn't hurt to ask.

I have an extra cable modem. I guess that I'll take it to California and sign up for internet service, then cancel. And then do it all over again.

if you go back and forth each year, you could call Comcast and ask about snowbird service.
