  Thanks.  I found out it is Century Cable for Yorba Linda but I can't find
a web site for them.  I have Comcast Cable in Buena Park and have their
At-Home Internet service.  I like the service, it is extremely fast and
reliable.

   The only thing I didn't care for was the false advertising that got me to
sign up.  Comcast falsely advertised the price as being $39.95 per month
PLUS a $10.00 off per month IF you also had their basic cable t.v.
subscription.  Therefore you would think that $39.95 less $10.00 would equal
$29.95 per month right?

Wrong!  What it did not say ANYWHERE on their false advertising was that the
REAL price was $49.95 per month.  And that the $39.95 price in their ad
already took into consideration the $10.00 discount on assumption that you
had the basic cable already.

  I just received an ad for Pacific Bell DSL service.  I may have to look in
to that.

  Does Century Cable have a web site?
