How'd you get in on that?

Some guy came to my door and said they were wiring the place for DOCSIS 3.0 and giving out new modems to people who wanted to upgrade for $15/mo + fill out a monthly survey for the next 3 months. They redid every last wire, inside and out.

Kewl. I need to move to your neighborhood. We only seem to get the stuff after it's tested.

I don't believe we're all that far apart, but I think they started with the apartment complexes because they can get a bigger sampling -- I don't know that for certain, but it'd makes sense. I know the guy next door in a house wasn't offered it.. and trust me, he tells me every day. :P

Since they rewired everything, the switched DTV is much faster in terms of response time for ondemand stuff & even just flipping from channel to channel. I'm not going to say Comcast is the great, but compared to the last cable company I had.. they're the best thing since sliced bread.
