Actually, per their ToS, they're within their rights to simply terminate your account and keep your money. You *did* read that contract you agreed to, right? ;-) FWIW, if you find you want to continue with Comcast (not sure how you'd reach that conclusion, but...), they offer a premium class of service which allows hosting services. At work in Amesbury, MA, we're paying $65/month for something that's pretty speedy, with a static IP address. YMMV. > They [FairPoint] seem "less bad" than Comcast. Yah, when the choice was Verizon vs Comcast, I always said that it's not that I liked Comcast, but that I hated Verizon more. In my experience, all telcos suck; some just suck more than others. (And cablecos are telcos, if you didn't know already.) If FairPoint manages to start Verizon's FTTP rollout back up again, I'll almost certainly be switching. Cable Internet is usually much faster than DSL, so that's a tougher call. If I hear really good things about FairPoint's customer service, I might consider it, but they'd really have to be astoundingly good things. (Remember, all telcos suck.) -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
