I think that's a good post to keep in the archive of form letters, so to speak, since we will (notice I didn't say "might") be able to replace "FON" with...insert your "favorite" service provider, cable ISP's included, at some point in the future. (OK we'll have to change a few words too) The trouble with the cable modem case is the user will be hard pressed to know that the problem is an oversubscribed network (and will be even harder pressed to prove it). Probably the cable modem tech support people won't know either (at first anyways), and will schedule tons of wasted truck rolls. I wonder how many cable data systems are actually set up to load balance by moving users to different, less utilized channels--on the fly. The capability certainly exists, but it probably hasn't been real-world tested, or set up. Even this is, of course, just a temporary optimization band-aid to stretch a bit more life out of the 'ol girl. Eventually there'll be no fallback, and they'll have to call the roto-rooter man.
