At least you didn't say that I was being optimistic. We're making progress here.

As an aside, my wife informed me that she was told by a Time Warner installer that they will be increasing their channel capacity in the 'hood. I immediately inferred that they're doing the things, finally, that are needed for both the video and the data upgrades. That scares me in a way, since we've not had a Cable TV-related outage in ages.
