2. ftp & http access to machines I have attached to the network
is *blocked* ( can get in via TELNET; whoop, whoop).
If you need to get at your machines from outside, use SSH. It's secure which
is good for remote access anyway, plus you can do secure file transfer with it
(scp)... and your cable company is not too likely to have any idea what it is
so they won't block it ;)
3. Their NNTP (net news) service sucks
4. They're going to raise my rates *again*.
5. The speed is no where nearly as fast as it used to be.
I'd go DSL but SBC doesn't have DSL in my neighborhood.
Damn.

I was just switched from @Home to my local cable
company's
(insight
communications) network, and it's actual been
more stable and
reliable then it
was before. @Home kind of sucked, but I've been happy with
insight's service,
at least so far -- it's been about a month...
Ok, so how much does Insight cost? Will they panic if I tell them I
don't have windows, and no, it's not a Macintosh either? ;)
Do they require you to buy cable service too, or can you get the
network hookup separately?
I have been considering switching to cable off and on, myself.
