| Re: 1 way cable modem...my only option. I did not ask for that.......im just saying.....why offer a service if u cant supply the hardware.....i have powerlink at a different adress in the middle of nowhere (URBANA) but i am moving closer into town.....(FREDERICK) and u would that it would be offered there .....it doesnt makes sense why they can offer 1 way.....i bet it supports 2 way allready....theyre just waiting ...to fool us all.....im just a little upset the fact that they told me to go onto ebay and look for a modem...that doesnt even exist anymore and isnt in production.....they put me on a waiting list for 3 months to wait for some one else to give up there 1 way modem....so they can give it to me...by that time 2 way will be available...or at least they say.....last year this time when it was gs communications they said it would be offerd in a few months...well its been a year....they just need to get their act together.....its just frustrating....
so u can quit bein such a lamer and let me agree with dude who is also upset with adel.....when they offer service that actually goes along with what they say or advertise it as....then ill be ok...but until than.....theyre on my shit list... | |

look for a modem...that doesnt even exist anymore and isnt in production.....they put me on a waiting list for 3 months to wait for some one else to give up there 1 way modem
I think you answered the question about the lack of modems in your area for Adelphia.
No one makes 1-way modems anymore, the only supply available is the existing, issued modems...
The service is available, but the modem isn't and they recommend you look for ways to procure your own modem if you want the service sooner than a possible 3 month wait.
Would you rather Adelphia tell you, sorry the service is not available at all? Then what would you say when you found out all that was needed to get service was the right modem? I think you would be a bit more pissed about that.

| I am also in Frederick. I have had the one way for over three years now. During that time they have been less than honest with schedule for 2-way rollout. I live in a brand new section of the city, but no 2 way yet. Each time I call, for three years, I have been told "only a few more months." They have reached the point where it is difficult to believe anything they say. The one way modem I have is a USR internal model that uses an ISA slot. The last drivers were released three years ago. I can't even upgrade my server since no drivers are available for NT, 2000 or XP. I share your frustration, but have not seen any alternatives other than satellite which has its own issues. DSL is not available. Maybe someone will launch a decent fixed wireless service here. | |
