[Cialug] Question about going broadband in Des Moines...

[Patrick L. McGillan]

Hey,
I have had mchsi cable for a couple of years now. They dropped off the modem 
with the wife, one day while I was at work. I hooked it up that night and 
have been happy since then. Once long ago, I called them with a problem they 
were having, which they denied of course. Next day everything was back to 
normal. Sometimes the cable goes out, maybe once every 6 months. Longest was 
a day and a half, best I can remember. Have had a public web server up for 
most of the time, couple hunderd hits a day. Power flickers are the biggest 
culprit, just requires unplugging and repluggin'. Been using the same ip 
address for at least two years. Bout all I can say, hope it helps.

Patrick
