Yes, try calling them. You *might* get through. These days they
seem to hang up on about 1 of 3 customers who call in.
I've been back on their "High Speed Internet" for about 3 months
now and it seems to be getting worse every day. They are either
overselling, or this new wholly-owned network of theirs is built
very wrong.

Honestly though.. if you use your home 'Net connection for anything
important, I'd look for an alternative. I routinely have 19ms to my
next hop.. about 4 miles away. I happen to have Verona and
Plainfield directly in front of me as well.. I think it's our area.
