\_ SMTP quoth Lucas Vogel on 12/2/2001 21:36 as having spake thusly: \_ \_ The problem isn't with Cox, it's with Excite@Home trying to extract as much \_ capital from its partners now that it's bankrupt to try to appease the \_ investors who are getting burned. From what I can tell, Cox(and everyone else \_ doing business w/ Excite) is trying to keep the services going. Sending them \_ angry emails isn't going to do anything productive. \_ \_ Furthermore, let me ask you this: \_ Did your cable bill suddenly shoot up because of this? \_ Are the rates going to increase? Dunno, but the $5/month increase seems suspiciously close to me. \_ Are they forcing you to use their service? For those in the wireless shadow or outside the DSL limits, effectively. :-) David
