Adelphia just bought out our local suck-ass cable company here, and I was really hoping to switch to their cable service from DSL, but I have heard so much bad stuff about Powerlink that I don't think its going to happen :)

It sounds like an excellent deal too.

Not to mention pings of over 1600 on weeknights, and when you call about them, they tell you basically its just too bad, deal. I agree, Adelphia sucks. ;)
 

I have powerlink in buffalo.
Last couple weeks were pretty bad here.
But they were installing new fiber, so I gave them some time.
Lately its been working fine.
Just gets laggy during busy times (obviously). And ill be d@mned if im going to use their DNS servers.
Seriously, they must have like a 486 running that.

I live in cheektowaga (outside buffalo) and I had both powerlink and verizon dsl. The powerlink was balls compared to Time Warner Road Runner i had in horseheads before i moved... road runner was much better but i chalk that up to the smaller population. My adelphia service was sh1t, i was down for a week once and service was generally slow most the time. I cancelled that and got verizon dsl. It was a little better but still not fast enough for the money. I'm on dial up now and i don't miss the crap that is verizon dsl and adelphia powerlink.
