Also tell them that you are recording this conversation for legal purposes, and end with "Have a nice day"
I back up this advice. As a former electronics technician (Navy, Qualcomm, and Oilfield) I wouldn't even qualify that technician to change the channels on my TV none the less, tell me that "electrical signals" coming from the PC could degrate the neighborhood's reception. I would take his comments as a threat. If they are going to try to "Blacklist" you as a subscriber, forget them. FORGET THEM NOW!!!

That's just like a cable company to do/say something like that. Take Zeatvu's advice-

Drop your TW cable and sign up with DirecTV or Dish (I'm VERY happy with DirecTV) then tell TW to pack sand.
