The world stops turning when their static IP database needs rebuilding and
they don't have information on whose IP is on what cable modem. Will they
spend the time to call someone? They claim to, but its quicker to just
disable the cable modem. That sure gets a call from me. Then they have
the nerve to tell me they aren't going to charge for a setup fee on my 2
year old IP!
I can't even begin to imagine how hard it would be to run a server on ACS's
dsl...
