[time-nuts] Off Topic in the Extreme

[d.seiter at comcast.net]

I used to have a huge problem with my Comcast link going down (in Silicon Valley!), but they seem to be MUCH more reliable than a few years ago. The problem now appears to be very short outages, which seem to be caused by local cell interference with my wifi network. Still trying to figure it out. (ie- the stoppages in a streaming netflix movie appeared to be sometimes linked to local cell texting traffic) Go figure...

I don't know about the US, but in Europe such a stance would cost 
an ISP most of its customers, hence they cannot allow to say 
"oh, it's not web, we dont guarranty anything if you are not using the web". 
It would be literally their death sentence. 

Usually, the ISPs here are more or less responsive on any issue a customer 
has. The smaller ones better than the bigger ones. Most probably because 
they know if the customer doesnt get what he wants, he'll switch to an other.
