   DSL destructive capability

   I have read Mike's article, and would like to know if he will be starting a service to warn any other users as to his plan for his next ISP.
   I have put down a few DSL providers in my time but Mike seems to have a natural talent for it. I wondered if he would consider conducting classes for those of us who wish to be hAcKeRz but have no technical talent.

   Well Mike probably has service from AT&T Broadband now, like the rest of the cable modem subscribers in the SF Bay area. If his curse can take down AT&T, then that will be very impressive. More likely, maybe they'll spin off the broadband unit into its own company (if this were 1998 that would sound reasonable) and it will go belly up.

   Great Article

   Well written and hilarious... I spent many many years waiting for broadband and have finally gotten the opportunity to get Bellsouth's Fastaccess DSL service... for my sake, *please* stay away from this service! :) No offense of course, and keep up the great work here... heh

   Mike, please stay out of Canada. The cold winter is almost upon us, and I, on behalf of all of us Canucks, beg you not to take our Internet away from us. Otherwise we may be sitting and staring at the wall for the next six months. Fantastic article.

   Great article!

   Very well-written and funny! Great job, Mike.
   
   I'm a RoadRunner customer myself, and while I love my super-fast cable modem, I would be very interested to see if Mike can single-handedly take down the world's largest media conglomerate. Let the death watch begin!

   I Am The Broadband Bermuda Triangle

   You may be the Wrathful god of Broadband...But I am the "Lord of the Undead Zombies", when it comes to customer service.
   
   Anytime I have dealings with a corporation though thier customer service department I feel like one of those people hiding in an attic in, "Night of the Living Dead"
   
   Monotone voices - Glazed Eyes - Slackjaw attentiveness - shuffling movement. I keep expecting one to yell out, "BRAINS we want BRAINS".
   
   anyhow...great article...I too feel your pain. (hehe)
