Well I didnt' want cable as I like my Dish Network but hated the old DSL 6 meg max.....thankfully AT&T is upgrading Nationwide and changing from PPOE to IPDSL, I'm paying 34 bucks a month for this.

Milwaukee HDTV Programming / Goodby TWC
Saturday Mar 13, 2010, 05:46:16 AM
Well they have found the straw that broke the camel's back.  A year ago I threatened to leave and they gave me some concessions they said would be good for 2 years...however over the last year the bill has risen 40 dollars a month. So I said enough is enough, let's get rid of the 39.95 for phone and 3.95 for voice mail, thinking that my bill would drop at least 20 bucks when you consider they are going to screw me for not having tv/internet and phone bundled.  Boy I was wrong, my bill is going up $20.00 per month.  I said you've got to be kidding...anyhow  I'm weighing the diff between Dish and Directv right now and I've got DSL ordered....

Time Warner you guys are crazy, the economy tanks and you try to charge someone $140.00 a month for TV and another 49.95 for Internet...you're kidding me..

Run don't walk.:bang:

On/Off Topic Chit-Chat / WiFi Radio Music ect.
Friday Jan 01, 2010, 04:57:57 PM
Anyone using a WiFi Internet radio or some wifi device to receive streaming music from a pc...whether it be an Internet Broadcast or music from your PC.  I've looked a quite a few all over the place but almost everyone has bad reviews at some point and don't want to make a bad decision on one.  Especially after I find one I want to get one for an older lady friend who isn't as tech savy and really misses not having a local FM classical station anymore.

Latest News / Roadrunner Outage
Saturday Mar 29, 2008, 08:24:34 PM
Just spent over an hour on the phone with RR support and finally got to Level 3 in the national operations center.  They have an OUTAGE, speedtests work fine but you'll find uploads to sites, servers, even their own email servers is impacted. This has been going on over 4 days and they haven't pinpointed the router failure yet.  

I will be asking for a big credit.

The only way they'll really get on the ball is if everyone calls in and reports upload problems.   Don't waste time with them troubleshooting, just report that the problem is widespread and their Tier 3 support knows about it and hammer them.
