| Well they took their millions and millions They all got rich and left the mess to other people.
At the enquiry by the SEC, the government and by who ever else is there, they will have either forgotten everthing or deny it, or say they did nothing illegal and did not know about it if they did. | |

Hey Rigas family - .|.

| | ...the Rigas family still has voting control. So who cares if they resigned their jobs...they still control the company. This company deserves to die. Hopefully it will. | |

| | | Re: ...the Rigas family still has voting control. I wish the whole comany would just shut down and let Comcast or something take over...i hate Powerlink...and there cable tv lineup sucks too...rate increase in march...and another one coming... | |

| | | | Re: ...the Rigas family still has voting control. My mother-in-law lives in West Pittston and has their TV service. Good god they are awful! Really lousy customer service and they'll lie, knowing you know it's a lie, but insist it's the truth! As I said...they deserve to die...but I really hope it isn't Comcast that buys their Northeast PA systems. That's only marginally better...if that! | |
|
| | | No it wont die, they'll get bought out by Comcast, Cox etc and that family will get richer. | |

| | Adelphia debt less than junk Wednesday, both Moody's Investors Service and Standard and Poor's Corp. downgraded Adelphia's credit rating, already below "junk" status. Moody's in a statement said, "The prospect of a potential bankruptcy filing is more likely and may ultimately be unavoidable."

| | | Re: SAD!!! I live in Quartz Hill and I'm too far from CO for DSL. Like everyone else in the Antelope Valley, I've been waiting for several years for Jones to offer broadband. Then Adelphia bought them out and the "wait clock" was reset back to zero. Looks like another reset is coming.. | |

| Re: SAD!!! I agree. From what I understand, Acton is served by Adelphia, and because Acton's cable lines are soo old, Adelphia decided to temporarily stop deployment of PowerLink service to Palmdale/Lancaster/Quartz Hill, so they can concentrate on upgrading Acton. The wait is, supposedly, June '03:(

Verizon has refused for years to put in a CEV to reach us. Combine that with Adelphia's inaction, and you have a recipe for 56k..... For the last five years.....

| Re: SAD!!! I feel your pain emhinkes. I just do not understand this. It's the year 2002, and technology still refuses to embrace the rest of us:( I wanna play too??? I currently have IDSL at $65/month, which is still better than 56K, but I'd like to have standard ADSL at $50/month even better. Hopefully time is on our side. | |

| | Troubles spread to golf courses, timber rights... Now, Adelphia's accounting troubles may be spreading beyond those arrangements. Adelphia's auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP, have discovered additional accounting irregularities relating to a variety of corporate transactions with the Rigas family, according to people familiar with the situation.
These people said Deloitte is examining whether Adelphia funded a golf course built by the Rigas family and whether the company gave more than $1 million in loans to senior corporate officers. In addition, auditors are examining an agreement in which Adelphia may have paid millions of dollars for timber rights to land owned by the Rigases.

kudos:1 | Re: Troubles spread to golf courses, timber rights... It's sad they can't provide you with better service, for me, it is surprising. Up here in Mendocino County, I give their cable modem service, digital cable service, and Customer Service all A's. I am not trying to rub anybodies noses in it, I just don't understand how they can be so good up here and so bad down there, weird. I guess it's like anything, it has good areas, and bad areas. | |

Sherman Oaks, CA | Probably because they haven't destroyed the existing infrastructure of the previous owners yet.
Your previous cable company was probably very good when Adelphia purchased it.
My area was owned by TCI before it was rolled into the Century deal and sold to Adelphia. Since that time, Customer Service and Cable TV service (not that high with TCI in the first place) has nose dived.
They can't seem to do TV service very well, why would I want them for broadband?

But it's the lack of broadband that I have a beef about.

Mountain Home, ID | Hey, I think I having deja vu. Does anything about this scenario seem vaguely familiar at all? Corruption, massive debt, cooked books, a failing company and the filthy rich people who caused it -- are still getting rich? Hmmm... Seems like this is the 'new business model' of the 00's. I'll wonder if you could rustle up some venture capital with a scheme like that? I'd guess yes, as long as the investors got a return who cares how many other people get screwed in the process.

| | This is just the begining of the end..... for several mismanaged companies like Adelphia. Mark my words, you are going to see a half a dozen or so more of these types of scandals surfacing before years end. And much like Adelphia, the top brass in most of these organizations will just walk away and leave some poor interim sap holding the bag with an impossible task in front of them. While the responsible parties enjoy early retirement in their mansions at the expense of all the investors.
What ever happened to accountability for ones actions? They should at least have a little dignity....these guys have no dignity whatsoever. I can just hear their advisors telling them; get out now while there's still time, before you lose everything. And here's you're new strategy, just lay low for awhile, until the next big scandal surfaces and everyone will forget about you. That's the new American way in business. Sad, very sad. | |
