| Troubles spread to golf courses, timber rights... Now, Adelphia's accounting troubles may be spreading beyond those arrangements. Adelphia's auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP, have discovered additional accounting irregularities relating to a variety of corporate transactions with the Rigas family, according to people familiar with the situation.
These people said Deloitte is examining whether Adelphia funded a golf course built by the Rigas family and whether the company gave more than $1 million in loans to senior corporate officers. In addition, auditors are examining an agreement in which Adelphia may have paid millions of dollars for timber rights to land owned by the Rigases.

kudos:1 | It's sad they can't provide you with better service, for me, it is surprising. Up here in Mendocino County, I give their cable modem service, digital cable service, and Customer Service all A's. I am not trying to rub anybodies noses in it, I just don't understand how they can be so good up here and so bad down there, weird. I guess it's like anything, it has good areas, and bad areas. |

kudos:1 | It's because there's no accountability out here....
Whoever's in charge manages to lie to:
The city council
The Los Angeles Times
The Subscribers
Now that's lying!!!!

Probably because they haven't destroyed the existing infrastructure of the previous owners yet.
Your previous cable company was probably very good when Adelphia purchased it.
My area was owned by TCI before it was rolled into the Century deal and sold to Adelphia. Since that time, Customer Service and Cable TV service (not that high with TCI in the first place) has nose dived.
They can't seem to do TV service very well, why would I want them for broadband?

| No, they have come in and turned an 1980's era cable tv network into a 21st century system. It used to be Century here too.

Accounting irregularities are one thing, but this is something else altogether.

Re: Troubles spread to golf courses, timber rights Century's infrastructure was awful....
Unreal as it seems, Adelphia is a step up....
But it's the lack of broadband that I have a beef about.
Adelphia.... Your link for some things... not everything....
