Ok I have a quick question

My mother recently purchased broadband service form a company called Cox Cable. When they came to install the service they said they could not install it because there was to much data on the hardrive. She called tech support and they told her she would have to clean the harddrive. This what little information my mother gave me over the phone, i'm currently out of state.

My question what does the storage capacity have to do with slow internet speed. I'm don't know everything but the storage capacity has nothing to due with the connect, or preventing the guy from installing the service.

Maybe the company needed to have some software installed or some browser which they offer.

If anyone has any answer please fill free to post maybe you know something i dont.
