I'm Going to rip my cable modem out of the wall . . .

And beat someone over the head with it. Cox Communications (An appropriate name for that company) decided they did not need to be part of the @home network and could go it alone. . .well now everyone of their customers has experience the joy of "Always off fast internet connection." Some of the large cities have there stuff working now, but me. . .I still get, to quote the level 2 Tec support lady, "intermittent massive packet loss." What does that mean. . .I can get to web pages about 75% of the time, but anything that takes longer then 5 mins will fail or i will loss connection too. That means no online games for me! Now I could handle it last week. It was the first week of school. I was busy trying to find classes and make sure I had my credit card paid off. Now, however, I am into my pattern for the rest of the semester. . . .and they have had a ******* WEEK to get their **** straight. I stayed on hold for 4 hours over (they play the same enya song over and over and over again until you think your brain is going to melt and run out your ears.) and now, thank God because i am the only person out of my friends to get this, a truck is going to come to my house and fix it up nice. . .but not until Sunday.
