Default Mediacom can suck my balls Mr. Garrison.

For those of you in the Dirty South planning on getting cable internet through Mediacom...it would feel better to shove flaming railroad spikes through your rectum sideways. These people seem to hire the DUMBEST fucking technicians on the planet. I've had no internet since Saturday because some douchebag disconnected the WRONG GOD DAMNED HOUSE. This, sadly, isn't the first time they've done some amazingly stupid shit. Just the most recent. It comes at an amazingly bad time...College Registration + Classes. Whores. Had to get it out of my system. You may now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

its funny that you say that, because my friend trom worked for comcast, until they got bought by time warner... my bad AOL time warner,

all isps are bad. unless you got like a fuckin T1.
i have cox 8 meg. its fast. and it doesnt work all the damn time. in fact, when i switched apartments, the labeled my account as a business, then the internet went out on a friday, and i couldnt call the normal support number, as my appartment cable connection was a business. the business support line closed friday at like 5, and didnt open til 9am monday.

im pretty happy with my roadrunner.. ive had it for years, was actually the 1st person in the area to have it doing initial testing) and not too often are there any major problems.. not to mention its free lol.. upload speed is pretty shitty, but i guess its average.. download speed can be really good depending on where im downloading from.. on many occasions ive hit well over 1mb/s and during the 1st quarter of 2007 they're supposed to be doubling their down/up speeds

compared to the shit ppl always say about other isp's.. rr seems pretty good to me..

you're not going to notice much ping difference, if any at all, by having a new computer....

I get pretty awesome rates with Verizon DSL, but sometimes they are shoddy. I've was without my internet for almost a week at one time, and yesterday I started spiking real bad for no reason, and they have apparently randomly started blocking port 80, since I've been unable to surf for most of today, but I can still go on XChat and Gaim and such..

I'm happy.. at work I have access to 6 T1's, and two private OC-1 lines between here and DC, Enough Poweredge servers to power a small google type app and a couple of snap servers.

Home is a pathetic 8 mb Comcast line
