Post by: Caspian on November 30, 2001, 10:01:24 PM: I am presently a COX at home user. To put it frankly thier Internet service is going bankrupt. So I may be gone for some time. Just complaining I guess.

Post by: THX on December 01, 2001, 09:23:38 AM: I have Comcast@Home. It\'s really Excite@Home which is having the problems and provides Cable internet in conjunction to your cable TV provider, Cox, Comcast, etc... (at least that\'s what I\'ve been told) It sux because I just spent $90 on a new router too. :P

Here (http://www.reuters.com/news_article.jhtml?type=internetnews&StoryID=410224) it states that Nov 30 was the do or die date, but I\'m posting this on Dec 1 and everything seems to be working fine. For how long I have no clue.

Post by: Caspian on December 01, 2001, 03:19:07 PM: All the companies Excite works with have tried to get excite to stay open long enough so they can switch over to thier own/other internet servers. Cox\'s was not suppose to be up and running untill 2002. But thier rushing it to meet the demand.

Keep checking their site?

So if you check it and it DOESN\'T load, that\'s your update: Get a new ISP:)
