O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00	I know Comcast has a self-install kit for the cable modem... does TW? Might be worth asking about. Everyone else has a scrolling marquee in their sigs.

AIM: SmarterChild Write To Me Here I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01	Next time Gooch, go with the self-install option. If you have an NIC card, you have half the kit. They give you the modem, they hit a switch on their end, you connect everything yourself and you're off to the races (did it twice myself already) quote: and I got a month of cable free Excellent point LB. Gooch, just call them over and over with the same gripes, and start using phrases like "Satellite TV is a lot easier than this", or something to that effect. I bitched and moaned about the cable service in my old house a number of times, each time leading to either a free month of cable or some free PPV events. Sure, I had a hot-box, but no cable bill - no matter how small it is - is always a good thing.

Time Warner cable aims sky high By PHYLLIS FURMAN Daily News Business Writer Get ready for some sticker shock: Time Warner Cable's fixing to ramp up your monthly cable bill â€” to $230. But Time Warner Cable won't just be charging for basic cable service. In a bid to squeeze the maximum juice out of its cable wires, the AOL Time Warner-owned unit is set to pitch customers with a menu of new services from movies on demand, to high speed data, to local phone service. AOL Time Warner CEO Bob Pittman This is the year that AOL Time Warner will look to cash in on its nearly $5 billion investment in upgrading its cable systems, which service 12.7 million customers nationwide, including 1.2 million in New York City. The media empire's chief operating officer, Bob Pittman, has told investors that Time Warner Cable's goal is to jack up the company's cable revenues as it rolls out its new services to a level nearly six times today's average $40 basic service bill. "We spent between $4 billion and $5 billion to upgrade with fiber optics," said Time Warner Cable spokesman Mike Luftman, calling the company's cable systems, "the most powerful two-way systems in the world." Squeezing more profits from Time Warner Cable is a top priority for AOL Time Warner, which is under pressure to please Wall Street. The company, which recently lost to Comcast in a bid for AT&T Broadband, is expected to cut profit forecasts again in a meeting with analysts on Monday. The meeting will be a chance for newly named CEO Dick Parsons to lower expectations for 2002, so he can impress investors later by beating targets. The company has been hit by an ad sale slump and slowdown in subscriber growth at its AOL unit. Over the next 12 months, the cable division plans to aggressively launch video on demand, allowing customers who have digital set top boxes to order from hundreds of movies with a flick of their remote control. According to Bloomberg News, AOL Time Warner could get as much as $100 million in annual sales from movies on demand. Up next: local phone service, to be offered first in Florida later this year and eventually in New York, though no firm time frame has been set, Luftman said. Time Warner Cable is already offering customers several Internet Service Providers, including its own AOL and Roadrunner services as well as Earthlink. The cable company is betting consumers will see the value of one-stop shopping. But first Time Warner Cable will have get customers past the sticker shock of seeing $230 on their bill. Media investor Uri Landesman called the $230 goal "aggressive" but said a $200 bill is "possible." "I think people will get over the sticker shock," he added. "They will like the convenience." I would look into getting Optimum Online there Goochy. If not, enjoy 56k hell! Trust is a weakness, Betrayal is the hidden blade.
