The tubes went down at 10 AM Monday. Area outage. ETA: 7PM. ... Thursday.

I am tethering my entire house on my Droid 3G. And half a megabit DON'T CUT IT.

Before coming to El Paso a few weeks ago I used to contract for them in California. I can tell you this, they, at least in the Cali/Nevada division, don't place any urgency on fixing anything. Good luck. Rumor has it Time Warner might buy some or all of Charter's properties. You need to pray to whatever god or idol you worship that it happens.

Comcast did (what I assume to be) an area-wide firmware update last night at 1am. Boxes turned off, came back on but without sound for I don't know how long. I gave up on Craig Ferguson and went to bed.

Firmware upgrades often cause more problems than they solve. If they haven't upgraded to Docsis 3 you can count on problems when they do, but once it's working it's sweet.

The internet wasn't interrupted during this event. No clue about what "Docsis" we're on. I'll assume we haven't been upgraded since we haven't had to upgrade or even reset our modem to my knowledge.
