Here's what ya do;
Take 40 bucks, go to Radio Shack, buy a modem, call your cable company and have them provision it, then play anytime w/o people
annoying you with you in your room.
Now to answer your question, no my family doesn't. My room has a door plus a lock. And I turn my phone off when I don't want to be bothered.
Door with lock = nothing better
