Hey Mikey!
 
I just ordered 416/416 SDSL from Megapath a few 
days ago.  Megapath is one of the top rated DSL providers listed on DSLR 
(dslreports.com).  I have a killer idea for sharing the cost and bandwidth 
with my neighbors.  I currently have three static IP address with 
Charter.  I will be curious to see how they deal with me.  By the way, 
where did you get this info?  I never know what's going on with 
Charter.  The last couple of days I have had horrible cable modem 
service.  Do you have a web site at your house?  I have a demo site, 
but the folks in Switzerland always complain about it timing out.  I was 
think I would have them try changing some of their TCP registry setting to allow 
for my extremely slow upload speed.

  Here's an FYI for those of you using the Charter Cable Modem 
  serviceand have COM 21 modems.  I just talked to someone at Charter 
  Communicationsand found out that they are taking all the COM 21 modems out 
  of service.They are also moving to DHCP from static IP's(major 
  bummer).  They will bereplacing all the COM 21 modems with Surfboard 
  modems within the next coupleoff months.  The major bummer is that 
  they will still offer static IP's butat $150.  I guess I might start 
  looking at DSL again.  The static IP was theonly thing keeping me on 
  cable anyways.....Michael A. SmithSenior Software
