Hi Rob,\nDoubt that this will change. Remember it was "baby" SBC that gobbled up AT&T, not the other way around!

Yes! Half the new stuff won't work with the firewall on and they've moved a lot of stuff off so it takes longer to get to the TV page, for instance. It sucks, basically.\n\nOh, and what's with the adverts? I'm sick of being offered a shaking can of f*cking whoopass! I've got my own can of whoopass, thanks!

Yes. Billing problems and sometimes reception. They don't seem to care much for customer service. I looked up other complaints about them online right before it was cancelled months ago. Just look it up online... TONS of complaints from people. It's amazing they are still in business.

Great Question!\n\nQuick answer...\nYes, it will work.\n\nMore info...\nIf you put in an order with Comcast to move your Comcast Cable internet service from your old address to your new address (Same Account, same service) it will work if it is in the same city.\nJust transfer your account to your new address and you will be able to unplug your cable modem at your old address and just move it to your new address and plug it in.\n\nIf you have to cancel your old account and establish a new account at your new address, there will be some "Set-Up" involved on the cable modem.\n\nYour new Cable Internet Service Provider should be happily able to help you with this.\n\nA cable modem is "Generic". One size fits all.\nIt is only the set-up that is different.\n\nI hope this helps.\n\nGood Luck!

Adelphia runs decent broadband in Western NY with pay for more bandwidth options. If you are a small business, Choice One Communications can handle your DSL/broadband needs.

Actually, they were investigated a few years ago and they recently settled a court case for millions after being sued for fraud. \n\nSome Washington residents who had mortgages with Ameriquest Mortgage Co. will share in a $6.5 million settlement.\n\nWashington and 48 other states say Ameriquest deceived consumers, inflated home appraisals and fabricated employment and income information in order to make the largest possible profit. The total settlement nationwide was for $325 million. \n\nAmeriquest parent ACC Capital Holdings Corp. said that it "acknowledged no wrongdoing" and said the settlement demanded "no restrictions or limitations on the company's licenses." \n\nThe settlement came two years after an investigation began and three years after the first complaints arrived. \n\nState Attorney General Rob McKenna, Assistant Attorney General Dave Huey and Department of Financial Institutions Director of Consumer Services Chuck Cross made the settlement announcement Monday along with officials from other states. \n\nThey said the settlement will give some 725,000 borrowers in 49 states a chance at recovering some money lost due to what they described as deceptive lending practices. \n\nThe agreement, first revealed Friday, is the second-largest consumer protection settlement reached by a state or the federal government, the state officials said. The largest was for $484 million, obtained by a group of states in 2002 from Household Finance Corp. \n\nThe financial terms of Monday's agreement set aside $295 million toward restitution to consumers and $30 million to cover legal fees and to pay for consumer education and protection programs nationwide. \n\nMuch of Washington's share will be returned to consumers who qualify for restitution in the case. State residents affected by Ameriquest will share some $6.5 million, while the two state agencies involved will receive $2.5 million. \n\nKristin Alexander, spokeswoman for the State Attorney General's Office, said Monday that the agency wasn't sure how many Ameriquest clients would participate. \n\nIn a joint release, the Attorney General and DFI said the company made nearly 13,500 loans totaling $2.7 billion to Washington residents between 1999 and 2005. DFI received more than 100 complaints about the company's business practices. \n\nCross credited Huey for much of the work done on the agreement. \n\n"He was the prime drafter of the settlement. He carried so much of the load for the country," Cross said. "The country owes a debt to Dave Huey." \n\nGov. Chris Gregoire said: "Just two years ago, Washington led the nation in similar actions against Household Financial. Now we firmly repeat our message to the industry: When companies take advantage of Washingtonians, we take action." \n\nAdam Stein of Auburn, president-elect of the Washington Association of Mortgage Brokers, said the settlement should let consumers know that "the marketplace is a safe place to do business." \n\nHe said a fast-paced real-estate economy can foster deceptive business practices by some companies, and that consumers should "shop wisely" before signing a contract. \n\nAmeriquest also is required to: \n\n--Provide full written and oral disclosure to clients concerning interest rates, points, penalties and other terms of a contract. \n\n--Ensure that employees do not demean the disclosures. \n\n--Provide the same rates and points to similar clients. \n\n--Retrain and monitor employees. \n\nAmeriquest operated 26 licensed locations in Washington, including 17 under that name, one under the name Town & Country Credit Corp. and eight under AMC Mortgage Services, formerly known as Bedford Home Loans. \n\nThe Associated Press contributed to this report. \n\nSETTLEMENT DETAILS \n\n--Who? An administrator will determine who gets paid, officials said Monday. \n\n--What next? Wait for the decisions to be made. Until the admi

They already do. In fact, WilTel laid too many lines, and couldn't lease them all. There is a glut of fiber optics already. It is the only way to go for data communication.\n\nYou're about 10-15 yrs behind.

I returned yesterday from Maui, HI they use Comcast cable...Comcast provides Internet access also. DSL Internet access is provided via the telephone companies.  I would definitely try calling the main telephone companies etc., AT&T is one.  I know they're big in Maui they may be big in Oahu as well. Unless you already know that Cable service is not available in Oahu or you are not happy with the costs, try calling the local Comcast number in your area or dial 808-555-1212 and ask the information operator for the Comcast Cable phone number and for AT&T as well.  I'll go one step further:  here's the number to Comcast 866-886-7475 and AT&T is: 800-222-0300 and give them your exact location so they can check for available service in your area...Good luck love!  Hawaii was a blast! Everyone should go at least once in their life time.

Well, you can always pray that what happened to me happens to you.  About 4 weeks ago I mishit some buttons and found out that I had channels I didn't know about.  I only pay for basic cable, but somehow I'm getting more than that but it isn't exactly the right configuration for what is expanded around her.  And I get the SciFi channel.\n\nOr you can call you parents and convince them that you want it for your christmas and b-day presents.

Your local cable company will install an outlet for you and hook all the items up for you\nWe have adelphia in Colorado... and thats what they did for me. So my best bet would be for you to contact them and ask how they can help you

You need to call AT&T and ask; right now we are rolling out FTTN {Fiber to the Node} with the intention to use it to proved all of your communication needs.  I believe that is what you are referring to, but I am not at work, so I cannot look it up {they call it a number of different things in different places because of all of our recent mergers}.  If it is, you will be one lucky sap bro, they are going in hot in heavy to buy the market from the competition, the prices will rise in the future of course, but they are intending to provide your TV, Phone and Internet connection for about $80, it will be a steel, get in on it if you can.  You will not be able to beat the speed or quality of this connection, when you get it.\n\nThe reason why I believe it is that is because there has been no announcement of change the DSL title to High Speed and I think they would want that known company wide, they are trying to get everyone on the same page as fast as they can.\n\nJohn B.
