I have Road Runner Cable service. I want to move my computer into a different room. When I called Road Runner, they said it's gonna cost me 40 bucks.
Can anyone suggest an alternative? I can do it by myself I'm just not sure what kind of cable I need. Can I buy it somewhere or does only Timewarner have it.
 
You need a good quality coaxial cable (just like the one your cable TV runs on and either a splitter or an inlione connector. Simple stuff you can get at Radio shack.
 
Wow, what a ripoff. I'm pretty sure the cable modem can be hooked up any place in the house with an open coax jack. Spring the few extra bucks for some coax cable with the gold connectors, it can't hurt. Note: you only need the splitter if you're hooking it up to a jack that's already taken by a TV.
 
Gold plated connectors are usually on the higher end cable. Spring for cable w/ these connectors at Radio Shack [$5 for 6' perhaps?] that should be high quality enough for your purposes 🙂
