I really wish they had time warners road runner up here. never even had any problems even during hurricanes.. Only problem i had was the power. but that was a easy fix w/ a generator.


Not Stock, kinda funny the niehbor mentioned teh same thing when he called comcrap. Tho he just got the run around. I hopeing this isnt an issue in our new place next month. Moving over by merchants walk. Anyone know about that area?

Change DNS servers in your router config then setup your computer and router to DHCP so it can refresh. From the command line (Start/Run/"cmd") type "ipconfig /flushdns" then "ipconfig /renew".

Is your AIM software setup for "login.oscar.aol.com" on port "5190" (default). Might also want to go with Trillian (www.trillian.cc) as a client.

I live downtown and the service pretty much sucks donkey dick. I've had them come out 4 times in this month alone to fix it. I've gone days without a connection and when it did come in, it was only for 20 minutes or so.

I've had comcast for about 3 years now...can't say I've had many problems. I just can't wait til Verizon brings FiOS over this way so I can switch over.
