thecow, my cable experience is similar. Stayed home yesterday for an outside service call but nobody came. Called AT&T at 4pm and was told the call was scheduled for anytime between 8am and 11pm [that's eleven pm]. Left for dinner and have no idea if someone came. Cable rocks since yesterday. Do you measure packet loss yourself? How? Probably from dial-up on another computer? Gottfried

I heard from a friend that when they set her up with roadrunner they set her settings at her computer to limit her bandwidth and didn't say anything about it. She figured it out later. I suppose they could call it their "default" setting, but it seems to me they ought to run it "wide open". But we thought by trying to limit customer's bandwidth they could provide service to more customers per resources. Which helps them but not the customer. Did you run into this?
