Yeah, it's cheaper now, but no better. Service will stop working, only power cycling the modem helps (which is all tech support ever tells you to do). That happens a few times a month, if not more. We got a "faster" connection, but since so many people in our complex hopped on the deal, we get, oh tonight's good, 250 KB/s from kernel.org. Right when we first got the "upgrade" 50 K/s from kernel.org was a fast night. They apparently put in another line for cable modems to the complex, so we're about where we were speed wise before the "upgrade". -- Scott Paul Robertson http://spr.mahonri5.net GnuPG FingerPrint: 09ab 64b5 edc0 903e 93ce edb9 3bcc f8fb dc5d 7601
