Re: [MLUG] Cable modems working?

[Ian Monroe <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

@Home was not working this morning, but I could ping the gateway
24.12.199.1 and the DNS servers, so I figured that @Home had shutoff.  
However, it then just worked again when I tried a hour later.

My networking teacher who knows people in Mediacom said that for
the last few weeks EMAIL:PROTECTED has had no employees. They only own a
buliding with routers in it. Amazing it still works.

I've included somthing from mediacomcc.com, please do not include it in
replies:
Dear Valued Customer, 
Today's ruling by Bankruptcy Judge Thomas Carlson to reject EMAIL:PROTECTED
contracts with the cable operators that use the EMAIL:PROTECTED high-speed
Internet service clears the way for EMAIL:PROTECTED to negotiate new
agreements with cable operators to continue service to high-speed cable
Internet customers. 

Media reports are characterizing the ruling as an order by the court to
shutdown the service at midnight Friday, November 30.  Despite these
reports, EMAIL:PROTECTED continues to provide service to our customers and has
not issued a notice that they will be shutting-down the network at
midnight Friday or anytime in the immediate future. 

Mediacom and other cable operators are negotiating with EMAIL:PROTECTED to
maintain uninterrupted service.  Mediacom continues to diligently pursue
an alternate service provider to maintain high-speed Internet access to
our customers.  In the event of a service interruption, Mediacom will
communicate with you plans to migrate your high-speed Internet service to
a new service provider. 

To ensure minimal disruption to your service, we request that you check
your email account(s) on a daily basis.  Doing this will automatically
save your email to your hard drive as well as ensure timely receipt of
important future communications from Mediacom.  Also, backup your personal
web page(s) by copying them to a diskette, CD or to your computer hard
drive. 

We appreciate your patience during this process and thank you for your
business. 

Sincerely, 
  

John G. Pascarelli  
Senior Vice President 
Marketing and Consumer Services
