Leesburg, VA | Adelphia Sucks in Northern Virginia as Well Just thought I'd sound off for Loudoun County in Northern Virginia. Adelphia bought Loudoun Cablevision about 4 years ago. We have the worst 1-way cable modem setup. And I think the only reason we have that is because it was put in by the previous owners. At the time we were the only people in the area with any cable modem services. Now we are far far behind just about anyone else around.
They are truly pathetic. I am very thankful that I live in one of the few areas of Loudoun County that can get DSL. |

| I also live in Loudoun County, in one of the areas that 2-way cable is available. Adelphia's corporate customer service just plain stinks. It took them 2.5 months to drop the cable to my house and another 2 to bury it. Worse, the only alternative in my part of the county is dialup - no one's going to provision the CO til I have grandkids.
But the local techs were knowledgeable and helpful, and after the wait I do get 1Mb down and 100-130Kb up, service has been fairly reliable - I say that now, it'll be down for weeks. Can't give any feedback on TV, we don't get it  |

| I live in the Broadlands in Ashburn. We just got 2-way cable. It goes down every now and then. Last night it was down from 7pm until... well I don't know. Was still out at 11pm when I went to bed and up again this morning at 7am.
From Ashburn to Reston the packets go first to Atlanta, GA, then to Texas, then to DC then to Reston. For a, what, 5 mile trip? :P
GOD I can't wait until wireless is here. I'm heading up an effort to bring wireless to our community, and as soon as it's here bye-bye Adelphia. |
