Re: wow going to shiz
The Comcast systems were initially based off of the old Jones systems (I know they rewired, etc.) so Comcast I don't think makes it an apples to apples in this case.
I would have hoped that the WOW network, based on similar Americast setups across their network would be somewhat more consistent when it comes to noise, levels, etc.
The tech had mentioned (for what it's worth) that the entire Naperville network is noisy. |

| Just because Ameritech built all systems does not mean anything. They are separate plants, thus will have their own problems. Its all in the way the system is maintained, and it sounds like the IL and OH systems have a problem maintaining the networks, while Michigan(WOWs largest system) is maintained properly. |

| Comparing to Comcast also meant nothing.
Please don't treat me like I'm clueless about cable. You really don't have to explain to me how any of this stuff works. I spent several years working with inventors at GI/Motorola in advanced development of cable technologies (look at some of the latest Motorola patents and there are others still not published or issued), so I understand plant issues etc.
My main point was that I would have hoped that WOW would have maintained similar operating standards across all their networks. I wasn't trying to engage in a technical discussion. |
