I had the Motorola SBG900, wireless router/modem in one for a year, I think it was free after a rebate. It sucked. Would always shut off, or just drop signal… went back to using their modem, with a Netgear wireless, now if I have problems I call and bitch. Its very satisfying to have someone to point anger at, for only $4 a month. Thats $48 a year, or less than a tank of gas for anything but the lawn mower. ---

Actually, it’s Class Action (two of them)…aka “People standing up against the company.” Regardless, I have no issue paying an extra $4 a month if that money was truly going to be used to improve service. TWC’s Cable/DVR boxes SUCK ASS, and their lack of FiOS like service (meaning insane upload speeds) pisses me off. I want FiOS just for that reason, upload speed. 30down/5up is nice, but I’d rather have 25down/25up. ---

I must have miscomprehended the concept of a class action law suit. I always thought that was when someone sues a company over something that impacts not only themselves (plaintiff) but other people as well, and said judgment would be in regards to the plaintiff and everyone else it might impact (in this case fellow customers) who aren’t directly talking to the judge. Then the settlement is issued to ALL PARTIES, said judgment might fall under, so long as those outside the courtroom respond to the letter in the mail. Please explain how you think that’s incorrect?
