Same thing exactly happened out here in Oregon. They bought the local Cable TV company, and offered some big promotions. After several months, it improved a great deal, and now outages are practically nonexistent. I shouldn't really tempt fate by saying that, but it's been okay. Did you also find a lot more email spam than before after the cable started? I did, in spite of filling out their customer profile like someone who has NO interest in ANYTHING. Looking at how I filled things out, an observer would wonder why I bothered with net access. Susan
