On charter here too. However, I'm rural, with 1 house every 2.5 acres...So speed is always pretty good!

@home cable service

I have never dealt with a poorer internet service than @home cable service. I thought AOL was bad due to access problems 2 years ago but that pales compared to @ home service. Long service outages, lost e-mail and the crappiest phone reps were the worst problems. Never got a single credit I was promised for service outages. When the cable modem failed (13 months old) one month out of warranty I told them to stuff the cable service.

Here's an update for you all...

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/12/03/1352201

...anyone through ATT is quasi buggered, but only for maybe 2 weeks - by then ATT say they will likely have a full network changeover completed. [likely be a better service too actually - the @home network backbones are typically heavily congested]

As for any of the other cablemodem companies who partnered with @home for their backend services... it looks like a toss of the coin. @home seems to be keeping enough equipment alive that many people still have service, however if @home doesnt pull a rabbit out the bag to survive, it will go down permanently - if you then happen to be through a "smaller" cable company, they likely cant afford the costly equipment and network change over to get you back up and running without @home on the backend. [which would hurt bigtime - I feel for anyone in that bucket]

All round it's a pretty shitty situation...

This Sucks

No shit on the lack of proper internet conection. We (Chicago) lost our high speed contection Saturday morning and now I am having to use GAY AOL. I hate this. As I sit back and ponder however I relieze that without having to use dial-up modems for so long I am really going to appreciate getting the good service back.

Life Goes On!!!!
