I *know* and I feel your pain. This hasn't happened to me "lately",
but it has and they are masters at passing the buck. "Not our fault,
contact Giganews" which can't be contacted. I tell them that as a
LARGE part of Giganews' income, they should be in direct contact with
them and at least be aware of when the news servers are down. It's
really exasperating at the very least.

I don't know about you, but comcast is the only game in town so that's
what I have. Everyone else who claims "cable" goes through comcast.
I want my access as direct as possible.
