Glad to hear your problem is solved...I HAD adelphia for 5 days and dropped it...Running an imac se 400 (graphite) and a pismo..My dialup is a consistent 52-54k connection and the absolute best that I could get w/adelphia was about 85-95k in the early am or mid-day..it dropped as low as 80k in the eve....called adelphia tech support and was told that they only guarantee 80k...regardless of their commercials that say up to 50x faster than dialup. Their tech person was ignorant and nasty when I said I was on a Mac system..said I should be glad I got what I did with the system. I was able to have the Pismo set up and running via Airport w/out any trouble, but only at the lower speeds...I figured that it just plain wasn't worth $45+ mo for less than 2x what I have w/ the dialup. many other people in my area have had the same experience and have dropped them...Adelphjia just started offering the cable modem capability in my area in the beginning of August. Regards, Mike K
