Well until I put a direct line into the modem, it is my fault. If it stays at that speed after the direct line, I will try to find out why it is not 1.5mbps, not complain about it, hell I was at dial-up modem speed for years, I am loving this. However, I do not want to spend money for something I may not be getting, and that is just common sense. |

Is the dynamic where it renews every 4hours or so?
Yes. For reference, I am getting 8 hour leases from the DHCP server. |

An 8 hour lease...nice. When i had northpoint DSL (before they went bankrupt) i had a dynamic IP and the lease was either 2 hours or it would change when i reboot my computer

Just got the e-mail that it's now available in Hammond,IN-

Now that my ip address starts with 64, it will renew on
4/28/02. Before it was about every 4hours, so annoying. |

Troy, MI | I called home page is down and e-mail is down.
New ip addresses beginning with 64 because they had to repurchase new ones.
That is the answer I got. |

Westland, MI | Just as a reference, I can access the WOW home page and my primary email account as of about 2 minutes ago. I know that the home page was out most of the morning. |

| Since I see that some are having problems I was just wondering what problems people are having. Since my IP was renumbered I have been noticing that I have problems accessing some sites. It is sporadic and they do seem to come back. It was much worse yesterday (Tuesday). I thought it was DNS, but I was able to verify that the addresses were resolved. These were major sights, like IBM. Other sites seem completely unaffected.
Just wondering if it is just me. My email is working but I am not using WOW as my primary email. I just basically browse and download.
Thanks |

I was doing some surfing a little while ago and came across two sites that wouldn't load. I did a little rewiring (disconnected WOW and plugged in my EL DSL) and they loaded right up. Hmm... |

Re: Wide Open West(WOW) - IT's HERE IN NAPERVILLE!
I'm looking to upgrade to broadband and from what I hear, WOW is the best bet. I have a question though. Do you have to use WOW for cable TV in order for their cable internet? Or is that ust some sort of discount? I'm near to Maplebrook so I should get good speeds right? |

| If you have them for cable its $10 less a month and if you have HBO or Digital cable through them its another $10 cheaper a month. Its $45 a month if you have cable through them for the fastest package. Right now nobody is getting good speeds but within a week hopefully the speeds should be back. It doesnt matter where you live in naperville cause the speeds are teh same everywhere. ONce they fix the speed issue your speeds will be around 2000kbs down and 500kbs up.

Test running.......... ** Speed 2096(down)/509(up) kbps ** (At least 41 times faster than a 56k modem) Finish. |
