Luckily, SunRocket sent an email with two companies addresses that were prepared to make the switch instantaneously. The new company is cheaper than SunRocket! For $12.95 a month, being without service for two days wasn't that bad. -- John H |

Are you in the boonies of the Carolinas? |

Are you in the boonies of the Carolinas? I had Vonage.... what a piece of crap. A large monolithic, non-responsive, customer-no-service, disastrous nightmare. The coastal area of NC tends to be effectively boonies because of the population density vs. the problems of stringing cable. I have Road Runner (which has been entirely satisfactory), but I'd be glad to find a cheaper provider. I feel your pain. Comcast overcharges for "high speed" internet, but the only competition at the moment is DSL. I'm not a big fan of DSL. The telco is advertisiing "fios," but I will be as old and gray as you, Eisboch, and Shortpants Tom before it gets to me. Wiring... I was thinking of dumping cable TV for satellite, but that would raise my "high speed" internet prices because I would be unbundling it. What's the fishing like in Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds? My *next* boat will be trailerable, and I have a friend with a pickup that has the balls for a towjob down there. |

Wonder if Murdoch owns Comcast yet. Heard the IL gov signed a bill or something that will allow cable competition, but don't know the details. What I want is ala carte cable. I only watch about 8 channels, none of them sports, but millionaire athletes get a cut from me. --Vic |
