That sucks. Hopefully he will be able to drive on the show again.

About the Internet connection, you should get Road Runner. We just bumped our residential service to 10Mb down/1Mb up!!!

Todd would love that, but he cant get DSL/Cable/FIOS at his place. The surrounding cows at pasture dont help.

Road runner said something about cow's releasing methane gas that is disrupting the cable runs out by me......

The problem is at work though, I'm on commercial road runner and that’s the problem... intermittent drops.

YEah, I have a commercial satellite connection at home through hugesnet, so far so good... just no FPS's :-/ and a fair access policy which caps how much you can download.

No worries, I use it for my small business for the most part and for what I do it works great!

looks like the links updating, lets keep the thread on track.

Just sent you a PM. I work for TW as commercial support tech. Give me a call and I can probably take care of the issue.

PM returned.

Hopefully this dude pulls through, I think it would be a shame to see the show get canceled or changed because of this :-/

saw this today
The BBC is to indefinitely postpone the new series of Top Gear until presenter Richard Hammond has recovered from the brain injuries he suffered in a high-speed crash.

“We would not think of finalising plans for the next series without discussing it with everyone involved,” the BBC said in a statement. “When it is suitable, the team will do this and we will announce a new transmission date.”
