Time Warner Internet Access Croaks, again

I was ready to make the preceding post a couple of hours ago, but Time Warner flaked out on me.  I could not connection with any web site at all.  They fixed what every it was a few minutes ago, but they are having maintenance problems.  For instance, TV channels 2 thru 12 have a severe herringbone interference pattern on screen.  Channels 15 and16 (Cspan) have been dead for months.
