I got them -- for about the first month, the service S-U-C-K-E-D: downtime more than up (no exaggeration), lost packets out the wazoo, service staff that didn't communicate with each other, etc. However, to their defense: once they got it working, it's been pretty damn stable. Occasionally I lose my connection -- I think it may be a DHCP lease issue, but I'm not sure, and just haven't bothered to troubleshoot it yet. By and large, though, after the initial screwups (for which they refunded money for downtime and then some) they've done reasonably well. I guess that that's really one of the primary non-technical differences between DSL and cable: you call the cable company, you hear "We'll get to you in, on... 10 days?" You call the phone company, and they're generally out that day, or, perhaps, the next. No, the phone company (CLEC, what-have-you) isn't great, but it's been my experience that they beat the pants off of the cable company. -Ken ********************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **********************************************************
