Now come on. Does a $34 setup cost offset the poor quality that you have to deal with through out the stay at the apartments' Can you imagine you cannot get the caller Id for the calls that you receive' And if you are calling international .... goodluck!

Can you name ONE other apartment with the network throughputs in this ballpark. I lived in and around Fremont area for the past 7 years and I DO NOT know of any other apartments with such a low throughput. Imagine what the accelerator can do to you if your apartments infrastructure can provide throughputs like other apartments.

CCI stated that this was the expected throughputs and they never heard of any other place with any better throughput! Who is providing these baselines to them'

> No comment on cable programs.

I am with you on this one. The cable programs are perhaps the biggest rip off in the apartment. The CCI also provides disgusting service. The lady who picks up the phone is very belligerant on calls where you call in with concerns. Can you imagine a cable provider who cannot provide a DISCOVERY channel in the heart of the Silicon Valley, at any cost' CCI needs to wake up to the needs of todays modern needs, or allow the renters to have a choice. I bet, IF there was a choice CCI will not have a single subscriber to their cable service.
