There really isn't a way because once you get on the network, they usually come calling within a week and they'll want you to pay for the time that you did use.
If you want to continue, though, you need a cable modem that works with Comcast, which you can get anywhere if you just check. Hook up the cable to the modem and the modem to the PC through Ethernet and configure a connection through the wizard that is broadband with no login and it should work without any problems. But not always.

With the documents provided, i imagine you're ok. It feels like you've a computing gadget suitable by ability of ethernet to a DSL modem connection. Your computing gadget has a special person identity and password put in it quite is used with the DSL connection. As such, your neigbors ought to not be able to faucet into your connection. in case you haven't got a dedicated DSL connection or any variety of router put in, then you definately opt to describe your setup extra efficiently with the intention to guage your protection vulnerability.

You need a cable modem.
You will need to register the cable modem with the cable company.
Getting free internet is not that easy

Just hook it up, man. If ya get busted, they'll just tell ya to pay. Oh, and another thing, DON'T BROADCAST THAT SORT OF THING ON THE WEB. There's a reason it's called "underground economy."
