OK, RIGHT NOW, WRITING THIS TESTIMONIAL,
I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER WITH MY CABLE MODEM, BUT SHIT HAPPENS, AND WHAT ARE
U GONNA DO, RIGHT? I AM DIALED IN RIGHT NOW AND I HATE IT, EVEN AT 45,333
bps. I AM A MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY WITHOUT MY GLORIOUS CABLE MODEM. I LIKE
TO LEAVE MY AOL INSTANT MESSENGER RUNNING CONSTANTLY, CANT DO THAT NOW. I
HATE LISTENING TO THE HANDSHAKING OF THE MODEM EVERY TIME I NEED TO CHECK
MY EMAIL, WHICH IS SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY. THESE OUTAGES COME EVERY ONCE AND
AWHILE. MORE OFTEN THAN I CARE FOR IT TO HAPPEN, BUT STILL I WOULD NEVER
HESITATE TO RECOMMEND A CABLE MODEM TO ANYONE. I LOVE IT. IT JUST MAKES ME
HAPPY WHEN I AM DOWNLOADING SOME HUGE FILE AND I AM WATCHING THE TRANSFER
RATE GO HIGHER AND HIGHER, AND THEN IT JUMPS OVER THE 100K/SEC MARK AND IT
MAKES ME EVEN HAPPIER. THE COST AND CONTRACT DOES NOT BOTHER ME COMPARED TO
WHAT OTHER COMPANIES ARE CHARGING. AOL WAS BENDING ME OVER BIG TIME WITH
THEIR RATE HIKES, AND BUSY SIGNALS. DID I MENTION THAT I HATE DIAL UP
CONNECTIONS? I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE SATURDAY (6/12/99) TO SEE WHAT IS UP
WITH THIS THING, BECAUSE IT IS ABLE TO BE PINGED AND EVERYTHING COMES UP OK
AT THE HEAD END, I AM WAITING FOR THE "HEAD CABLE ENGINEER" TO GET HIS ASS
UP HERE AND CHECK TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY "RF" PROBLEMS IN THE WIRING, TAP
OR NODE. THIS SITE HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS HELP FOR ME. KEEP UP THE GOOD
WORK. AND I WILL KEEP U POSTED IN MY DILEMMA. LONG LIVE BROADBAND
INTERNET!
