| regards to p2p shaping and whatever They say they have bandwidth caps at 2 gigs a day until 12am-12pm which at that time, the service becomes unrestricted. In reality, they are just blocking p2p traffic, bittorrent especially. Programs like Blizzard's auto-updater for WoW, Xfire's download area (just to name a couple of programs that utilize bittorrent on a legitimate basis) will not work after the 2 gigs is used. My connection is continuously reset if I leave a bittorrent client running after the allowed cap. Irc resets, vent resets, etc...
I can however, still download at 400kb from any ftp or download site, such as Cnet. I hope that someone sues the **** out of them and they stop this bull****. | |

| Your just getting the bandwidth 2nd hand. What else do you expect? They have to buy the bandwidth they are selling to you from AT&T anyway. Just do a tracert to any place on the WWW (Google for example, or here) and see that the first hop outside of Cableone's "network" I don't think it's actually a backbone, is directly to AT&Ts. Go figure. | |

Twin Falls, ID | Look at your Bill for Late Fees Take a look at your bill too. Bet there is a late fee calculated on there that shouldn't be. $2.95 on every bill whether they are late or not. | |

| re: Newsgroups Financial difficulties are not true, especially when the parent company is the Washington Post.
Try the fact that there were less than 200 newsgroup users out of over 300,000 internet customers. The cost to keep the agreement with Supernews was probably too costly to keep it, based on number of users.
Besides, go spend 14 a month and subscribe directly to any of several newsgroups out there, and you will have a tremendously larger capability on newsgroups....if it's that important. | |

|  CableOne Service Activation
Setup with CableOne support went smoothly but took way to long. I don't need to follow a script for a simple service activation but the subscriber found it informative. They wanted to know how a normal person could be expected to activate service if the CableOne installer could not get it done with customer support. Well, I told them, that's what the "Geeks" are for. [Note: I am not a Geek] | |
