@home is NOT THE SAME EVERYWHERE (udp on primenet) (Score 1)

I am on @home in nebraska on cox cable. You could not want, or have a better isp. I often get 100 k average downloads and from sites like www.mp3.com it is about 300 k a sec. My connection is fast and error free.

@home in canada is notorious however. I have heard how bad it is but you might try thinking that perhaps it is that cut corner isp in Canada, not @home as a whole.

The few times that I had trouble with my connection a person was out from Cox cable that day. The guy was very nice and did some things and replaced my cable modem. A day later when the thing was still happening he figured out from the time of night that it was happening it that it coincided with the dew coming. He went out to the box and noticed that a sleeve on the cable connection was cracked. After fixing it i have had very fast error free service for close to 2 years.

If there is a better ISP than this it must be in someone's dreams only or perhaps in heaven. Every other user of @home around Omaha, Ne, has had similar experiences that I have talked with.

Oh, and if this guy gets this thing through, I'm going to do some research and if I find that lots of spam is coming from primenet.com (his isp according to the post on deja.com that the article refers to) I'll move for a UDP against them. Two can play at his little blanket-udp-like-this-is-1978- and-the-few-hundred-people-who-might-be- spamming-are-representitive-of-100s-of-thousands- who-are-not-Udp-crap.

You just wait, Mr. I can control usenet.
