with Comcast being down, but when I do I usually unplug everything from the modem and wait a few seconds, plug it back in and I'm good to go.

What about those of us in the Northeast? sm
We supposedly have the highest expenses (I think we edged out California even). The mere threat of a Nor'easter caused the Euro community to up the price of a barrel of oil as the Northeast has the highest fuel usage in the world (I was shocked at that one myself). No one seems to have any sympathy for us. Now, we are threatened with rolling energy blackouts this winter in the Northeast. Nobody gives us monetary assistance.

Why should anyone give you anything? Did you not choose to live where you live?
Northeast Transcription
Anyone here work for Northeast Transcription?
No, my accounts are in the Northeast
area. The people in Amherst have no brains apparently. If any of the accounts were out of TAT they hired more people to keep the accounts in TAT, but their idea of TAT is 1 hour which is utterly ridiculous. I think because all of the kids are back in school every one is typing at the same time. I don't know what they are going to do about it.

Thanks

Here in Upstate NY it's been coming down since the morning. We're supposed to get about 7-8 inches when it's all over. We did have a little bit of freezing rain this morning and we've had a lot of local accidents because of the roads.
Indiana?
If this is the company in Indiana who has Louisville accounts, be forewarned. The accounts are nearly all ESL, the system they use to type isn't very good and the spellcheck is horrible. They also bounce payroll checks and there are no set paydays.
Not Indiana sm
No business license is required in Indiana.
Not a bit, especially here in the northeast. Heat is a way of life. nm

Anyone else in Northeast have internet woes?
All weekend the connectivity has been absolutely awful. I have Time-Warner Cable (formerly Adelphia). Anyone else having problems or is it just because I had a mental meltdown Friday and this is a sick form of retribution from the gods?
I live in Indiana
this is the first year that our state has had to change time officially, however for years we have been dealing with two different times "fast time" and "slow time"... My husband and I worked on fast time (we changed our clocks), my son went to school on "slow time", my county was right on the edge of the time change, If I made a right at the end of my road I was heading into "fast time", If I made a left I was heading into "slow time"... very confusing and a real PAIN... We are so happy that we are officially changing to Daylight Savings time with the rest of this country this year as a state. It will make my life so, so much easier. I believe only Indiana, Arizona and Hawaii were the only states that did not "change their clocks" and I, for one, am happy that Indiana is finally changing!

Thanks for the info
Northwest Indiana MTs
I am from Northwest Indiana and have Comcast. It is always down. Does anyone else from Northwest Indiana have this problem with Comcast? Are there other companies out there to choose from? My husband swears up and down that Comcast is all we can get here. I know south of us there is Nitco, but I do not believe you can get it where I live. Any information would be helpful. I am trying to obtain a new at-home position and am worried about the Internet connection going down on me while I am working.

Indiana Unemployment Question
Someone just told me that Indiana unemployment has changed, in that you now have to wait six weeks for your first check. Does anyone know if this is correct or not?
Help, Mediscribe of Indiana, NOT MedScribe of FLA, need to know....sm
I am so confused, the recruiter called me out of the blue last night, don't remember dropping a resume there, but she had my resume....anyway, offered great IC position, great pay, lots of good points, sent contract....but I THOUGHT I was speaking with MedScribe, does ANYBODY know/know of Mediscribe of Indiana? It all sounds great, but I want a GOOD company, and whenever I do a search, I keep coming up with posts about MedScribe. TIA!!!
I'm in North Central Indiana
and have used ATT/yahoo DSL. Not sure if this would work for your or not, but I've used it for years and very rarely have problems.
Bern
PS- GO ND
I'm in East Central Indiana and
have Comcast. When we first had it, it was down all the time. It turned out to be a faulty modem, which they had supplied. Once they changed that out, they have been incredibly reliable. It is very, very rare that they are down, and if they are it is usually less than an hour.
It was in Indiana. Loved the job. Even miss
it sometimes. But not meant to be, I suppose.
Man, its HOT in Indiana! Talk about global warming!
How 'bout where U live?

I had the same thing with a client in Indiana - did their work for 5 years
Then someone from Connecticut stole the account - underbid me, and the work just kept getting slower and slower, and I asked questions of what was going on, and no answer. Finally the girl that USED to send the work to me called me and told me they were going with Mary's service, and I should be looking for something else, and that they had no intention of telling me because they were using me for stats, etc. (I didn't charge extra for stats, and she did).
So Mary, I know who you are, and I hope RP's dictation is driving you NUTS!
There I feel better.
You are in Maine, right Hayseed? I am in Indiana, and I totally agree SM
with you. It has been bitterly cold the past week with snow most every day, including today. I am glad I dont have to go out in it.
I get frustrated over the same issues as other MTs, but I just do what you said, walk away and try to keep a good attitude.
Comcast
Just wanted to let everyone know that I just ordered Comcast digital phone service. There are no restrictions. Unlimited is unlimited.
comcast
I've had their phone svc for many months now. the only problem is that when the cable goes out, so does your broadband, phone, everything, so make sure you have a cell phone so you can call in your outage. I'm in Indiana and dialed in to NY and there was never a question about how much I was on it.
Comcast
This is unlimited throughout the country. I could have added international, which there will be a charge for later, but I don't need it. I told them what I do for a living, that I am not speaking to a person but dialing into a dictation system. She had me hold while she checked and came back on telling me "unlimited is unlimited." I could have kissed her!
Comcast
Hmmm...I was told something different.
Comcast
If you have their cable and internet, you get the phone rate for $39.95.
Comcast
I just talked to Comcast out here in Oregon and they told me that if I was in anyway using my phone for any "calls that generated an income" that I would be considered a "business" and there would be a business charge for the "unlimited long distance". So I think in time they will catch up with any of us and it will be the same as ATT, etc. If it generates an income, it is a business. It is like my Comcast internet, they wanted to charge me the "business rate" since I used it for business which was almost double of the "residental rate". So I think right now each area does not know what the other area is doing/saying but once they get up and running if they can ding you extra charges they will. So enjoy it while you can. Patti -- yes I talked to as high up manager as I could.
Anyone with Comcast and have you
in any way been told you were using the internet too much? One of the consumer advocates here in town yesterday probably about the most upset I have ever heard. Comcast is telling some consumers their internet service is going to be disrupted for using "too much" although when asked how much is too much, saying that is their secret?
comcast
I have comcast as well and never heard such a thing. I am basically on almost 24/7 so this is excessive and never, never heard such a crazy thing!
Comcast
The only high-speed we have in this area IS Comcast. For years, they were slow slow slow, constantly going down. I called them at least several times a week. They finally laid a new cable which has taken care of a lot of the problems but they should be a lot faster still. I called constantly and demanded constant credit on my account (which I got) even though they tried to find excuses such as it must be MY computer, MY lines, MY problem. When I called the utilities commissioner for my state, all MY stuff started working again. If they don't listen, call your utilities commissioner and then send e-mail to Comcast letting them know they will be hearing from them. Maybe that will wake them up.
Comcast
Give up and get on DSL. When Comcast bought out Time Warner, NY internet service went from reliable to having to reset and reboot every morning. I have a friend who has to reset and reboot every few hours. She simply loses internet service in the middle of whatever she is doing. To make matters worse, if you need a tech's help with Comcast, be prepared for a wait. I was told it would take at least a week for a tech to come to my home in spite of my explaining I earned by living over the net and could not possibly afford a week without working.
DSL has been awesome - always reliable, great service. Extremely easy set up. Have NEVER had to call a tech about anything. I would highly recommend this internet provider to everyone.
Comcast
Please overlook typos. Hopefully I am better than that.
Comcast..........
I live in Mississippi..... I've had it since moving to this area, about 10 years. From the get go we've had nothing but up and down service and at the worst possible times...when I'm working!! It will go down without explanation...customer service never has an answer, so after several years of constant problems, I finally found a local supervisor (got his number) and he actually fixed the problem. He sad he wasn't getting the information that this area was having all these problems. Haven't had a lot of problems since, even though it does still ramdonly go down..... we NEVER get advanced warning of anything, ever!! We've still had some problems but nothing like before.
I can't say it's fast, even though that's what they claim it's supposed to be. That has been our only option until recently... now there's DSL but still don't know if this will be any better.
I have/had Comcast phone too
I have Comcast home phone service and it is expensive in my area. It was about $60 a month (including all the taxes & fees) but I only had unlimited calling throughout the east coast, mainly the New England area. I downgraded my phone service to the basics and now I use my cell phone for the majority of my calls, it actually turned out to be cheaper for me to use the cell over the landline. I kept the landline hooked up just for a home phone for emergencies & for ppl to call in to us but for me to make calls, they all go thru the cell.
I originally signed up for Comcast back in 2003. I know they are in stiff competition now with Verizon and both companies are offering better, more competitive rates.
Comcast Update
Comcast digital phone installed today. I cannot believe how clear it is! Luv it!
Adelphia/Comcast
I'm confused too. I was told Adelphia would be changing over to Comcast as well.
I've decided to give Verizon a try though. I'll keep Adelphia during my 30-day trial and see how it goes. I hope the change over to Comcast goes smoothly without too many outages.
Vonage or Comcast
I have had Vonage for about two months now and I have had no problems at all. My friend has it too. I wasn't charged for the modem, and I have two lines with them. They did charge a setup or installation fee of about 42.00, but they give you the first month for free..so I didn't think that was too bad. Most companies do charge some kind of installation fee no matter where you go. I don't use a C-phone or anything though, so I can't say whether there are problems with that or not. If you have Comcast in your area, they now have digital phone with unlimited long distance. Every Comcast phone customer will have it before long, because they are doing away with their regular phone service and switching completely to digital. Which I'm not too happy about, because if your internet connection goes down, then you're stuck with no phone. No more land lines with them. If you have internet and cable through them as well, you can bundle the three and pay 99.00 a month for all 3 services for a year. :O))
Can you even get to the Comcast homepage?
I've tried typing it in manually, have used FireFox and Internet Explorer, and nothing is coming up. Maybe I should fire up the Mac and see if I can get in through Safari.
Comcast Internet
Does anyone use Comcast for broadband. I do, but I can't get onto the Comcast.net website, and email is not coming through Outlook today. I was wondering if the problem is on my end or theirs. I can get to other websites (like this one!), but I'm also having problems with time-outs on many, many other sites, not just Comcast. I'm wondering if anyone else is having a similar problem.
Comcast really stinks.........
I used to have their cable internet here in Cresson, PA, but I have switched to Verizon high-speed DSL, and I absolutely love it. They do have special sign ups, which you can you lock in at that rate, I did! Sure hope you get rid of Comcast! 
Same here, had problems with Comcast
and kept complaining until they finally sent a repair guy that actucally cared. Funny, when he tried to type in differnt web sites just to see how fast everyting was working he had to ask me to do it cause there are hardly any letters on my keys. LOL
