Time Warner Cable sucks (or is it Earthlink?)

[davidfcooper]

We seem to be having outages every 2 weeks. This time the TV signal is fine, but our cable modem is out. We have a service appointment in Tuesday, and unless service is restored before then we'll have to use our Earthlink dial-up (Earthlink gives us 23 hours a month of dial-up to use as a back up should their cable internet service fail). I expect to be on-line a tad less in the interim.

The dial-up feature is marketed as something useful when away from home.

why i would be suspicious if i ever saw dial-up service back-up offered:

the majority of 'away from home' locations are all equipped with high speed hookups. these days
---[that's my perception]

----appears that they knew their service was going to be down alot.

It actually has been useful; we bring our laptop with us when we stay at my in-laws who do not own a computer and borrow their phone line.
