  1. Re:Do what I did! Run OS X... by idomoggie · · Score: 1 · on What Software Do Cable Installers Place on Your PC?

    I used Qwest whose tech installed the ethernet card and configured the setting to DHCP on the PC. Previously, I had Qwest DSL which I installed myself neglecting to install their customized browser, etc. as customized browsers crash more anyway. The PC has since been reformatted and the HD changed out and it still works fine without any undesirable software. The iMac was even easier, on OS9, he set it to DHCP and it was up and running. When I got an iBook, I did what you did and haven't had any problems connecting. I have firewalls, ad blocking, etc. on my machines and all works fine. I can disconnect the ethernet, go to dial up, and back, all without rebooting in OSX, works perfect. I do get a lot of junk mail from Cox wanting my business but as they use BroadJump, no thanks. Yahoo's broadband service, SBC, AT&T, Sprint and a bunch of others use their service too. See. There is no reason for a tech to install anything in OSX anyway, plug in and it works.

    "This says to me that either there are very few links to the company's homepage, or there is no company homepage."

    Please excuse any irregularities in the following post because I only got 3 hours of sleep lst night.

    Apparently it's the first case beacause the company homepage is here. They mention that they deal with Adelphia, AT&T, Bell Canada, Bellsouth, Charter Communications, RoadRunner, SBC, Sprint, Telus (Canada) and Time Warner among others.

    They seem to have their fingers deeply into this industry.

    Here's Broadjump. I found it through Hotjobs' listings for Canada, but it's just www.broadjump.com.

    What scares me just a little bit is that you didn't think to try http://www.broadjump.com/. ;)

  6. This is an obsolete question by Animats · · Score: 2 · on What Software Should ISPs Distribute and Support?
    With Windows XP, everything you need comes from Microsoft, including a PPPoE client. There's no more need for ISP software.

    Almost everything ISPs want you to install sucks, anyway.

    Does anyone know how to uninstall BroadJump? safely? It's running something in the background and messing up a friend's machine. BroadJump refuses tech support requests.
