I've been gone since late friday for a very good reason, My internet was down. The cable guy just came and fix0red the problem. Ya know what was wrong? Our cable line has never been replaced. We got it in '92. The copper wires at the center were black. The cable modem has a tolerance of about +/- 8. The line was at -17.

I dunno. Though if it can it's probably good we got it replaced.
