The place in question is in Knox. I had TWC come out there and they told me I need to get 10 other houses signed up to run the line. ---

Comcast is absolutely whoring their service out in my area to win back FiOS customers. ---

I can’t wait for TWC to start going over the air as the cell internet service keeps getting faster making land line useless. ---

You know what sucks a fat one? I like how TWC got smart one day and ripped off the simplest, coolest features DTV has… the Fast Forward & then auto roll back juuuust enough to start playing RIGHT where you want to start watching your show. Then those DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS, thought “we will look soooo cool if we apply that feature to the rewind also! Yeahhh lets do it!!! WOOT” When you rewind, it seems like that stupid fucking “feature” fast forwards way too far once you hit play. Example, watching nascar, I rewind to see a crash, juuuust before the crash starts, I hit PLAY… and it fucking fast forwards PAST the entire god damn thing! FUCK SALT! DEAR TWC. I dont need the fucking rewind feature to auto bump a little bit forward… THATS WHAT MY FUCKING BRAIN DOES… I AM WATCHING THE SHIT I JUST WATCHED, AND HAVE A DAMN GOOD IDEA OF WHEN TO HIT THE PLAY BUTTON, SO I CAN RE-WATCH WHAT I WANT TO!!! ---

I wonder if I should talk to the powers that be here and see if they are willing to expand the WiMax we’ve been putting up then? We’ve been having great results with it. I just don’t know if it is any good on gaming. The latency isn’t bad, but it’s not great. ---
