Guest David Posted March 11, 2003 CID Share Posted March 11, 2003 Damon and friends My cable company is small they sell lousy slow cable and pretty good cable tv. The problem is they serve sanfrancisco and Stcloud minn and their servers were in texas serving both san fran and stcloud from texas so I put up with that for a while. Now the servers are here in st cloud and areas unpredictable as saddam the D-head. Up one day and down the next.

Help If you can I have be posting at dsl reports on the slow speeds they have stopped posting my comments. I can't imagine dsl reports caving in to astound.net I am not the only mad person, look on google on astound.net complaints. Thanks much for a look!

CA3LE Posted July 5, 2003 CID Share Posted July 5, 2003 I don't know what to tell you man.. it sounds like this is a problem you yourself can't solve... you need your cable provider to get off their asses and fix whatever is wrong with their network. What it sounds like to me is that your cable company is being lazy... prob playing your game.. taking up your bandwidth... so you can't play ~~ "counter terrorists WIN" -- "yes, mi lord" haha, I would switch providers if possible.. This is most likely the only time I will say this... since I work for a cable company and all ~~ you might want to get DSL... OUCH I SAID IT... oooohhhh... Good luck man! - Damon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
