Re: Now, on a positive note

A similar thing happened to me. I went from the big brother (scanning all my ports for open servers and the like ) cable company to the freedom of DSL. The best thing the cable company ever did for me was to dump me.

On a side note I wonder how long the cable companies memories are on dumping users. After say 30 year will they remember? After acquisitions will they remember? Lets say you move to another cable company and there is a merger will they compare records and start dumping users? Until cable systems become more open, they can treat you any way they want to. Where as I have at least 10 options(for abuse )with dsl.

Re: Now, on a positive note

I can't see where one can complain if they break the ToS and get dumped for it. However, if it wasn't in the ToS, I don't think my account would have been disconnected for very long.

Re: Now, on a positive note

Wheelert: problem is that in the original TOS it never mentions a daily upload limit. Companies should inform you of changes to the TOS to let users know what is going on.

This reminds me of PhoenixDSL killing usenet without letting users know about it. I am still waiting to see official word as to the situation with usenet.

What gets me is that in the TOS it does not say anything about a 500MB upload limit per day!
