And while you're scraping that, you can ping the default gateway that the "modem" gives you and as long as you can get there then you're connected. I do that to keep an eye on what Rogers does in the neighbourhood. I ping the external address of my firewall, the default gateway, the dns servers listed then google.ca and rogers.com.

I am not all that familiar with the cable modems but you should be able to scrape the ip address from the modem.
They will be using DHCP or possibly ppoe but one way or another your modem will have your address.
