| i really dont mind which company buys out adelphia as logn as its one of the following:
cox
time warner/aol
optimum
anyone of these companies are mnore reliable then pos adelphia, and MAYBE they will be able to lay out fiber optic lines withint the next two years, cause we all know that Adelphia sure as hell couldnt do it in southern california. Bottom line: screw adelphia...hope they go down....hope any company gets a good deal on adelphias cable system...and they finsih off the work adelphia started. Ive been waiting for cable in my area for over 3 years and i am just pissed...not dsl/cable available. Only satellite and wireless, both expensive as hell and not worth the price (installtion is liek 300 bux +). Cable is basically my only solution...I would alsop be happy if adelphia stayed in the business as long as they finsihed setting up cable internet in my area cause they are ogign to have to lay out brand new wiring troughout the city so faster connection for me.. |

I can get DSL...it's just limited because my inside wiring is crappy and old. ('50s vintage) I had GTE (now Verizon) Bronze Plus service which is 768 down/128 up max. Best speed I could manage was 384. It didn't help that my ISP was Flashcom (Rest In Pieces...in Hell!) Flashcom would say it was GTE's prob, GTE would blame Flashcom, and thus would begin an orgy of finger-pointing. I get depressed thinking about that.
At least with cable I can get decent (1.5Mbps and up) speeds, particularly in the morning.

It might be worth it to see about getting a home run wiring to the MPOE installed to a POTS splitter if you try DSL again (I'd suggest DSLExtreme). That way, you can bypass your internal wiring.....
