Re: [MLUG] *sigh* Morenet

[John Engelbrecht <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Actually, Mediacom was down all saturday evening, The cable
Modem can re-sync, but I can't ping anything.

Their Tech lines sucks, The number to call for disruption in
service for Cable modem has become mediacom Cable TV number.

I was refered to another 1-800 number, then refered to a
local number, the local Mediacom number,  the machine says
it is no longer in service. Boy... Mediacom really needs to
get their shet straight.
