Very true, just doesn't fly very well in court. If they threaten you, mention taking it up with your lawyer, that will usually shut them up for good. Used to be illegal to split your cable to multiple TV's, now it is federal law that the cable company MUST allow you to split your cable line without charging. So long as you take responsibility for problems past the outside box and don't split the line outside of your domain (don't split to other apartments, neighbors, or a room that is rented out, etc)
Insight gripped at me for running a mail server for private use, until I told them to kiss my #$% and I would take it down when they fix their awful server. They continued to fight until I brought up the issue of a lawsuit for failure to provide promised services because of the severe downtime the mail server always had. (To this day, at least 4 times a day Mail will have a dialog box stating that it couldn't reach mail.insightbb.com, the other 6 accounts have no problem) At least I have my mail server still, I just haven't been using it since I got OSX and .mac mail (although now I will have to move b/c I'm not paying $99 a year for email!) -Robyn On Sunday, July 28, 2002, at 06:58 PM, Howie S wrote: > on 7/28/02 3:39 PM, Will S at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > It's similar to running a cable splitter and using 3 TV's when there was > originally one outlet.
