Legality: Was Comcast/etc....

Just by your own Amp at a store :)  TWC came out and told me they had to 
have access to my computer or they wouldnt do anything for me.  They guy 
refused to pull out his laptop and plug it into my network or a cable 
modem outside the house.  The guy didn't even know enough to understand 
that no collisions on the NIC inside the house and 10+% on the outside 
NIC indicates a problem with their systems.
	<I run two NIC's in a linux box as a firewall.>

Then again... It took a week and three managers to get RR to install a 
cable outlet in the wall.  The first two service staff that came out 
tell me "Oh ya, we install faceplates face up in the middle of 
everyone's living room.  Thats the way its supposed to be".

FYI: I think the government has rules, enforced by financial penalties, 
about telephone uptime and even how long it takes to get a dialtone when 
you pick up the phone.
