Yeah, I kinda thought that (lol). I cleaned my cache/cookies and everything! I think there were too many people on the node trying to access it at once and there was a lot of bottle necking.

Any update on the tower project? I was supposed to be in Philadelphia last Wednesday, but that part of the trip fell through (Thanks for nothing Amtrak!).

P.S. My last bill with Com-crap went up by about $1.50 with no apparent explanation. My limited basic now comes to about $27.50 after taxes. Can you believe this s---? (

Limited basic? And no high speed internet? What is the point? You should get a digital antenna and Google chromecast. What channels do you even get in limited basic?

Agreed - why are you paying for limited basic? Digital antenna should cover those channels for free depending on what area you're in. I bought one from Target for $20 and don't pay a cent for cable.

Cable is pretty pointless. I only know 2 people who watch cable: my grandparents.

It's hard to balance my hatred of Comcast with my happiness at what they are doing for the city.
