ViewSonic unveils world’s fastest LCDs 03/17/2005 02:47 AM
Featuring ultra-fast 4 millisecond (ms) average video response time across the entire color scale, ViewSonic announced its Xtreme LCD monitor lineup today. With a response time performance up to 8 times faster, ViewSonic says the new monitors are ideal for extreme gaming, viewing DVDs, watching television, and even traditional computer usage—such as rapidly scrolling content within a Web site or a document. The 19-inch VX924 and 17-inch VX724 are the first desktop displays to combine ViewSonic’s proprietary Dynamic Structure™ and Amplified Impulse™ video response acceleration technologies to support rates of up to 250 frames per second across the entire color scale. “These Xtreme displays mark a major milestone in LCD technology,” said Erik Willey, senior product manager, ViewSonic. “The 4ms response time across all color scales has allowed us to create the ultimate gaming monitors with motion video performance rivaling the best CRTs.” The displays will be available in the second quarter of 2005 through traditional ViewSonic resellers, distributors and mail order.

When I moved from my apartment into my townhouse a bit over a month ago, I called Comcast to let them know. I explained that I was merely relocating and didn't want to change any aspect of my service other than the location. They said that was quite easy and we selected dates for the change. They told me to hang on to my existing cable modem. Then, on the appointed day, the Comcast tech came out to check signal...

Time Warner, Comcast Get Adelphia,
Comcast Celebrates By Turning Off DNS 04/08/2005 12:13 PM
It looks like Adelphia cable broadband customers who are about to get shifted over to Comcast have plenty of outages to look forward to. The same evening that it's announced that Time Warner and Comcast will jointly devour what's left of Adelphia for about $18 billion, Comcast had major DNS issues leaving many of their users offline. Of course, in explaining the widespread outage, Comcast is using their favorite phrase: "scheduled maintenance." That's the same thing they told me when Comcast turned off my service nearly every weekday last October. I would call every morning and be told that it was "scheduled maintenance." However, when I asked what the schedule was and if I'd have service the next day, I was told they had no idea. Apparently, it doesn't become scheduled until it actually cut you off.

Comcast Outages Prevent Comcast From
Commenting On Comcast Outages 04/14/2005 01:21 PM
Last week, we noted that Comcast was having widespread outage problems, which they chalk ed up to "scheduled maintenance", even though no one was actually informed of said schedule ahead of time. It turns out that schedule is pretty crowded, because all week long, there have been continued reports of recurring outages all across the Comcast network. Comcast, of course, continues to be pretty much silent on the issue, leaving its increasingly fed up call center staff to deal with incredibly angry customers who feel they're getting no information at all. How hard is it to admit that they screwed up and they're working on fixing the problem? Instead of chalking it up to bogus scheduled maintenance or pretending there's nothing wrong, admit what the problem is and give people real updates. People would still be unhappy, but at least they'd feel like the company wasn't ignoring them. Of course, maybe they can't do that because Comcast staffers don't have any internet access either...

AT&T Broadband / Comcast or "I'd Rather Eat Glass"

Damn.  Last week Kasia got screwed by AT&T / Comcast.  Now its me.  Here's what happened:

1. Come back from meeting with a client about a bunch of rather interesting stuff.  Some Inbox Buddy, some Feedster for internal use, some Frontier consulting and some miscellaneous other open source issues. 
   
2. Virtually no network performance at all.> 200 ms ping times, hosts not resolving, etc.  Call AT&T. 
   
3. Suffer thru one of the worst voice response systems I've seen in a long time.  Horrid.
   
4. Reach a technician.  He makes me remove my PC from the Linksys broadband router that shields my PC from the outside world.  I'm not happy about this but a 10 Base T coupler makes it a lot easier.
   
5. He tells me to restart.  I counter with "ipconfig /renew".  He shuts up.
   
6. I start doing some ping tests and he's telling me that all is well and happy, frothy goodness since he can ping me fine. 
   
7. I start to traceroute and give him feedback about the broken routes.  I ask him:  What's an email address so I can mail it to you?  "I don't have one".  What's a hot mail account I can send it to?  "I can't give that to you either."  So I ended up reading him the bad routes.  Pathetic.  And this from a company that sucks $50 from me monthly for broadband?
   
8. I finally give him the info, he checks it from there after a 5 minute hold session and B I N G O !  I was *right*.  They have a problem on their internal network and then I had to wait on hold for another 5 minutes while he filled out a trouble ticket.  Then I got the really bad news.
   
9. "It'll be resolved within 72 hours.  Not necessarily fixed but hopefully a solution decided upon."  What the fsck does that mean ?  That within 3 days from now, you'll decide how to fix it and then take as long as you like?  Utterly, totally pathetic. 

End result?  Over an hour of my time shot to hell simply because AT&T can't proactively monitor its own damn network.  I tell you, times like this?  I'd rather eat glass than be an AT&T customer.
