Unless they have some totally diffrent system, but I've never heard of it.
I thought that as well. Before I moved into my house I had a cable modem and they installed a trap. My one thought is that when I canceled the TV part but kept the internet they would have had to come out and install a trap and never did.

I was actually kind of shocked when the guy told me they had no way of shutting off the TV.
