Damn, you guys are having hella problems.  Well, the @Home tech support ARE
idiots, I called them because I was having problems with my computer and
wasn't sure if it was hardware.  They gave me that same bull that "We are
experiencing problems in that area", but I called my friend up, and his was
working fine.  It was a hardware problem, so it wasn't their fault, but it
just goes to prove how they don't really try to help people and just try to
get you to hang up ASAP.  Jackasses...

Well, try to go to the cable modem sites, and they have programs that fix
the RWIN sizes and things that improve ping times.  I got mine down from 75
to 15ms during normal hours!  It might help a little bit, but 999ms is TOO
HIGH for cable.  I also found a program that tracks cable interuptions and
files a formal complaint to your cable company.  It's pretty good, and it's
certified, though I can't quite remember what it's called.  I'll post it if
I find it.
