Heh.  As evil as I wish Time Warner was, they continue to surprise me. 
When I called and asked for cable modem service earlier this month, they
asked what operating system I used.  I said Linux, and the guy on the
line asked if I wanted to do a self-install.  They just couriered the
parts to me (cable modem, ethernet cable, some coax cables and a
splitter) and I had it up and running in 10 minutes.

Of course, as far as I can tell, you can't see their Terms of Service
agreements until you have service installed, but maybe it's just buried
on the website somewhere.
