We found it

Remember the letter and check sent to the local Comcast office on March 17, 2008 by my father? It was returned today with a post it note that said it was found on her desk and because of the date of the check and the fact the account has a credit balance she felt it best to return everything to him as was.

The check was dated March 17, 2008. The letter accompanying the check requested an address change - the only request made and it was done on or about that date. And then the letter sat for almost 30 days until it was returned my mail yesterday and received by him today.

At least we now know where the payment went - why I was disconnected for a week will probably never be explained.

Comcast Broadband or whatever it is being called is still a hit and miss on speed and latency but tonight I have been surprised - it appears packet loss is almost zero and ping times are under 20 ms to everywhere. It has been a long time since I have seen this stability or speed but I figure in an hour it will be a different story -if not I'll be back to post.
