Dave, I’m also sorry you did not have a great experience when you called us. However, it is true that we try to conduct our network upgrades and maintenance at a time that is the least disruptive to as many customers as possible. I checked with our network team and they are going to be completing the work they began last week in Beth’s area again tonight, starting at 2 a.m. It should take about three hours to complete. If you have any problems, please let me know. Thanks, Amy Quinn Beth, I was reading this thread this afternoon and am sorry to hear that your services were temporarily interrupted last week.

It is a bummer that the cutouts happen during bad weather and that's the time you need the service. But that's what DVDs are for, right?
