I hopped onto my computer just now, and when I tried to get onto Hotmail, I
received the following message (from Charter communications, my ISP):
"Your cable modem has been administratively disabled. Please contact the
Customer Care Center at 1-800-800-CABLE to resolve this issue."
Well, that was nice and friendly!!! Strangely enough, it was not entirely
correct. I could log onto Hotmail if I used Outlook express, but I still
can't log on to Hotmail from the web. I was initially not able to use
webpages other than Hotmail; now, the only webpage that is giving me this
message is hotmail.
So, I spoke with Charter Communications. They insist that this is a
network-wide problem that will be resolved quickly. Go figure. Now, if it
were a consistent problem on all the webpages, well, then I could believe
them. However, I have evidence that it is not a "network" problem. *Sigh*.
Idiots.
OK sorry for my ranting and raving... I just had to let that out...
Sincerely,
David A. Wilson
