[RTC List] Suddenlink

[Winter Faulk]

I spoke with suddenlink today, they called me for a change. Last night
they replaced some hardware that was causing most of the packet loss
that people were having. They also told me that they would be
replacing some more hardware tonight between 2am and 5am and that they
have put in an order for a new OC3 for the area to help with the
bandwidth problems during peak hours. I would recommend everyone that
has had problems to call the billing department at suddenlink and tell
them they owe you a refund for not providing the service they
guarantee.
