Northpoint shutdown halted... for now.

Northpoint shutdown halted... for now. Looks like they'll still be dead in 30 days, though. I wonder how they're going to keep running their network without any employees. [CNN link, deal.]

Here in Dallas, Verio was the reseller for our DSL service from northpoint. We now have 5 useless IP addresses and home machines with no connection to the internet. This irks me to no end. They didn't call, they didn't write - no e-mail, nothing. Here's the kicker: We called to report problems and they gave us a service ticket number and said they would look into it, all the while know that the plugs had been pulled at Northpoint and that this was the problem. Cocksuckers.

No, no. The term "Cox Uckers" is reserved for employees of Cox Cable.
