Nope. The cable company knows every cable modem connected to their network. If you don't pay, they can turn it off instantly.

So the best deal is, sign up for cable internet, take off the filter, and get free cable tv ;)

Yep. Cancel your cable tv, keep the internet. They will probably come over to install one, then you remove it.
