The area I live in is currently being served by Adelphia Cable. But,
we got a notice in the mail a few weeks back saying that they are
being bought out by Comcast. There is supposed to be about a year

Comcast.

There are things you can do to reduce lightning damage odds dramatically.
You need a good arrester (protector) with 3-wire gas tubes and/or
'delta modules' at the service entrance. You MUST have a good ground.
(Deity Help You if you are on a granite mountain...). You protect the
power as well
And never ever use internal modems, be they DSL or dialup flavor.
External ones are good sacrificial lambs for your motherboard's longevity...

The fact that a surge is hitting you so often, either thru your phone
line or thru your power line is BAD. VERY BAD. It means your home
is improperly grounded. This is a fire hazard. DO NOT ignore it.
Fix it.
That's what I thought too...it must be the lines...

My Fellow PowerBook-philes and Tim,
Cable Modems would be nice if only we did not have one of the worst
