That makes 3 of us. Jordan has it as well. I'm satisfied with their service. Since I'm a computer noob, I call customer help a lot. They sound eager to help every time I call.
 
I like adelphia too. Their' servers seem to eb abel to keep me goign the same speed all day long, no slow down or anything, even at peak points.
 
I also have adelphia power link! When I called to activate my account, the lady that helped me seemed really nice, but when she asked for the serial number, she kept replacing the Cs with Charlies and Bs with Breaker, A with Alpha and so on. I started laughing.
