My house wasn't all that well grounded at the time of installation. We took
a spike in June that had me replace my oven, a circuit board in my dryer, a
doorbell, three outlet strips and two of my two neighbors DVD players. We
had relied on the incoming water line as the ground for the house.
If we did it wrong we will fix it.
I think the NYNEX branch of the company has always been a problem.

Comcast could fight these high capacity users like Qwest. No cap need, no

Yep they should have kicked Comcast in the cojones with a couple of
hundred million dollar fine.
In essence, this is what the FCC is doing. This is price controls by proxy.
Comcast is determined to shape the traffic on its network, for whatever the
