My god awful ISP

[kippesp]

Tonight I was at my parent's house thinking I could actually get 
some work done with their network connection.  But it wasn't to be.  
They use the same ISP and have similar, but not as bad of a 
problem.  So I'll be switching their ISP first to DSL.

For me to switch would require also changing local phone service and 
probably $50 in switching & setup fees.  So my parent's place will 
be a dry run.

The sad thing is my cable provider knows there is a problem.  But 
the California/India call center can't do anything with respect to 
feedback.  And even more frustraiting, they gave me a street address 
for me to visit.  I guess they don't have phones here.

We probably looking at three weeks if a switch to DSL happens.
