No, I don't work for @home (or Charter), but is seems to me that when one rants
in the newsgroups about a problem that turns out to be in HIS computer, and
says things like 'Charter@Home sucks', then he should apologize as profusely as
he ranted.  Only fair, don't you think?

BTW, the lost sync problem can be caused by LOTS of things, like work on a
nearby line, and is just something you will have to live with, probably for as
long as you have a cable modem.  The network problem you mention might have
been the one caused by the guy hitting the pole in front of the W. Vickery main
office..  I suppose that is Charter's fault, too?
