Some questions on Adelphia

[Justin Bennett]

It varies by connection, mine were blocked before a collegue who also 
had adelphia, I believe they are doing this on their routers as they see 
fit, so depending on where you are on their network (kenmore, amherst, 
ect) you may or may not be blocked in some fashion or another. They also 
have the ability to upload a config file to your cable modem as well, 
they may also be able to block ports that way. I noticed they just 
changed the config file on mine, they allocated more bandwidth for 
upload finally. I now get about 25KB / s upload compared to the 14KB 
before. Possily upgrade from 129Kbits/s to 256 kb/s. I know they changed 
the config file because my Father in law's was down for a while and the 
adelphia tech had to manually upload the new config.
