[TriLUG] OT: TIME WARNER ANNOUNCES INTRODUCTION OF PACKET SHAPING TECHNOLOGY NATIONWIDE

[OlsonE at aosa.army.mil]

I had that convo with them today about hosting my webpage at home, and
he told me: 

"You can host it at home, but in some areas we block port 80. If that's
the case, you can host it on a different port".

I got the text transcript e-mailed to me from RR ...to keep as proof if
they try to come after me!

Now that they've given me the thumbs up, time for some LAMP + MediaWiki!

Yeah, we really have it pretty good.  I've got friends all over the
country whose stories make me appreciate TWC/RR.

Price is higher than I'd like, but I've had a nearly round-the-chock
connection at my house for 7 years.  Any time I've reported a problem,
they've been at my house promptly and fixed the problem first time. They
don't block incoming ports, so I can run my own server.

I wish I could find a mechanic this good.
