Regarding date...

Yes your right Mark, I posted it because some were asking about the service in a previous post. As far as I know this was the first and only release from UMG. I do not think it was deployed however. I have sent several messages to them asking for details, and never received a reply.

Just thinking.....

I would hate to have to depend on UMG for my cable, Internet and phone service. What happens when the power goes out, can I still make call over the cable even though the modem is not powered.
