Money...

I'm just wondering where the money for all of this is going to come from.

And correct me if I'm wrong...I thought one of the biggest benefits from DOCSIS 2.0 was increased upstream bandwidth which would then permit higher downstream consumption...so why the talk of (I don't give a crap what they call it) DOWNLOAD CAPS?

Golf Course sales? I know John Rigas wouldn't allow them to offer "soft-core" pornography over the network previously, so perhaps there's your answer.

the money is probably coming from our bills that have grown prodigiously in the last 18 months.

Yeah but a company that was supposed to be in such financial trouble can suddenly revamp its network in under 12 months? Plus place orders for new PVR units?

Maybe its because Adelphia secured 1.5 BILLION in financing May 28th 2003:

That explains it...they found suckers to give them access to more money.

More price increases to come. We've had three in the 1 1/2 years along with the metal value paks disquising the new increase. Maybe they will have to stone packs with the new increases (diamonds, rubies, etc)

You ask me why I hate Adelphia? They can't even give me a pay-per-view football game when the channel guide shows it's available.

Adelphia is a rip off- They just keep raising prices and limiting service. They should all be in prison anyway.

My cable bill went from 80 to 120 dollars in the last 3 years, and my cable channel selection has gone down. Internet service is broken 50% of the time. Tech support are morons. Adelphia should not even exist after stealing all that money from stock holders. It should have been sold off to pay them, then banned from ever doing business again anywhere. Adelphia can go to hell.

I am also a prisoner of Adelphia. They are my only option for Cable TV and Broadband service.
What has me hot is their failure to provide what they advertise. In fact I will be happy with a percentage of the 3 mgps down loads promised. I have never tested at even 1 mgps and it is my plan to continue calling and requested service visits until I have a dependable / constant 2 mgps.
I am paying a high price for their service and I demand 2/3 of what is promised.
As far as getting through to support personnel, all you have to do is call for new subscriptions - they always answer those phone calls.
The ranks of the ripped off grows daily.
