Actually, the sad part is that these things actually occur. I agree 100% with you that cable connections are better than dial-up. I would go so far to say that they are in entirely seperate classes when it comes to usefulness. However, it because these services are so much better, and because there is absolutely no competition in this field that these types of abuses are taking place. Just how far do you think Niagra Mohawk would get if they told people they will not support gas ovens any more because some people disuse them and there could be an explosion that would damage their lines? How far do you think would get if they decided to start peeking in customer's windows to see if they still had a gas oven? How far do you think they would get if they shut off the people who complained? These are the type of things that one company controling a given area is trying to do, and its just plain wrong. Someone had to stand up and say so, and I am that person. -- Willie Williams airborne@wizvax.net http://www.wizvax.net/airborne/roadrunner/complaint.html
