We went down Sunday morning and I was surprised and glad we were back up on Monday because of the holiday.

Here at home this Thursday evening my service has become erratic again. There seems no rhyme or reason.

Thursday was the worst day I can remember. Trying to finish some business online and connection dropped 3 or 4 times an hour, pretty much all day. Very frustrating, as such I am crying Uncle and will be signing up with the enemy, BTL today. Part of the plan I suppose.

I called Coral Cable yesterday and they said they were working on the lines which is why internet service was going off and on. We'll see if its better today. Won't be holding my breath though!

I went into Coral Cables office yesterday mid morning to report a problem with my TV picture. I told them it was probably the wiring / connections in my house but could they possibly come and check the incoming signal for me as a starting point. The problem was with their cable and by mid afternoon on the same day, they had run a new cable from the telegraph pole on the street behind and I now have a perfect picture again with probably sixty channels of premium cable TV for US$20 a month. They put on free PPV Movies and Sporting events every weekend and regularly they put on PPV football games when I have asked them too.

Try getting service like that in the Western World.

Coral Cable continued to be a disaster all day. Dropped at least a dozen times over an hour or so until I finally gave up. Another interesting bit is that I can not access certain google groups or the tacogirl blogspot. It just hangs up and says no connection. If I load up my hotspot vpn then I can access both. It there yet a new level of blocking/censorship going on? and if so from where? Seems like BTL is doing all they can to completley control the www. Any ideas? Did actually bite the bullet and have set up BTL DSL connection on Monday. We will see.

No problems at all on the TV side Phil and you're right, on that end we get a lot of value. Tonight we get Marquez vs. Pacquiao on free PPV!
