[TriLUG] Is BellSouth DSL service better than Time Warner Cable connection

[Greg Brown]

Tayfun:

I had exactly this same problem on TW RR when I first signed up.  Among
other things my connection speeds varied wildly, I would get new IP 
addresses
every week or two and it was generally unreliable.

I finally decided to call and get a tech and the problem turned out to 
be a bad
termination on my coax leading to my cable modem.  After the line was
terminated again I have not had another problem.

It might be worth checking out.
