Our cable ISP is Cox Cable, which also sources broadband service from Excite. I still have @Home service, but Cox called last night to say that Excite could 'pull the plug' at any time.

Our backup dial-up provider, ATT Worldnet, never connects at a speed above 24.4K baud due to the poor quality of the phone lines in the area. I hope Cox hangs in with @Home.

Richard, OT *** @HOME
I'm not a customer [my dial-up ISP is MSN] but I think the abrupt cutting off of broad band service will affect all internet user for years to come. At issue is RELIABILITY! I get weekly offers to take advantage of paying bills online and getting statements that way. I stick with the slow but reliable USPS.
