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.

No No No

He is a THZ, we have ways of hiding our members when they get in trouble. See why we dont have some of our members around here lately, and why some are now returning from a long stay away ;) . We take care of our little family ;) .

For the people interested in this on going saga:

The tech guy came out to my house. The tested the signal at my house, drove around to the block, checked the signal at the "tap", found the problem was at the tap too, called up someone, and told me he could not fix my problem as it was an area wide problem. So I am SOL till they find a way to find their butts with thier hands.

Anyway, I did not beat him with the cable modem. He seemed to be suffering more then I was and looked like someone had already worked him over.

One of the locals managed to leak this lovly bit of info

about Baton Rouge..and he told me the area that I was in (Baton Rouge 1 mile radius around the LSU campus) was the most degraded area in the whole Cox network around the NATION. That is verbatim what the Cox rep said.

They told me that when they shut down the network in Baton Rouge last weekend, they were hoping to get everything fixed, but in fact it made everything worse. They said they have to replace all the cables around the LSU area. Looks like I might be stuck with some bad connections for at least another month!!! Oh well...i should spend less time online and more on studying.

yea when @home bit the big one, it tooka LOT of people with it.
my friends that had comcast, were living in pure customer service hell for about a week, when comcast finally caught on...
now they're talking some major improvements, we'll see....our Capt, NetRat, is still getting bit by it, like last practice, it kept dropping him every 5 minutes...which makes it a pain
Good Luck!!!!
