That's a choice they get to make. I'm oh,so happy since I broke
free of the way they were screwing up Giganews.

Maybe this is a matter of semantics, but I maintain that Comcast was
not "screwing up Giganews". They maybe have been screwing up YOU, but
Giganews's service continued as usual for everyone else.

I find it hard to believe that Comcast somehow singled me out for bad
treatment.

I never had
any problem with Giganew's speed, only with Comcast's authentication.

Well, I had that problem as well if you by that you mean that they would
fairly frequently simply not accept my login for a few minutes or a half
hour every once in a while. Infrequent, brief, but irritating.

And I've never heard that there was any general problem with Giganews's
speed, either for their direct customers or for Comcast's.

Neither do I, now that I'm working with Giganews directly.

The problem I had might not have been apparent to people who didn't post as
much as I do.

I'd say that
the problem was either a regional one in your area or they were
targeting you personally.

I find it hard to believe that Comcast somehow singled me out for bad
treatment. I only accessed text NGs and only made text posts, so I can't
believe that I was somehow going out of their usage bounds.


Anyway, it hardly matters now, as Comcast's access to Giganews's
servers seems to be blocked today, probably forever.

Maybe this is a matter of semantics, but I'm still having no problems
accessing Giganews servers via Comcast. I just use a different name for
their server than the one that Comcast gave me , and a different userid and
password. ;-)
