Hacking cable modems for profit and advertising this fact publicly not the smartest idea.

Find out just how well you know your cable connectors with this handy quiz.

It seems that I've done enough under and over the desk wiring in my life to warrant the 100% grade I just received on this quiz. I am a very proud man today.

Not entirely sure about the quality, but five cables for fifteen bucks sounds pretty good to me.
