    I’ve gotten that error logging into the customer area too. :/

    It ususally goes away within the hour.

    Their phone system is even better. When I called today I got hung up on twice. Fun!

    I wish there were more alternatives in the cable internet market. Rogers desperately needs more competition. Their policies suck, their offerings suck, their website sucks; they suck.

    Fortunately in our area Sympatico High Speed is available, and they’ve given me no hassles (so far).

    Silly. I’ve run into this issue before and there’s a knowledgebase article about it (with a resolution). You’d think that Roger’s would be familiar with Google as a search for the error code gives this “resolution”:

    Most of the time, the line of code in error is the SQL statement since SELECT statements can be very large. You can use one of the following to work around this problem:

    •If the SELECT goes against a single table, remove the “table.” prefix in front of each column.
    •Create a variable to hold the SELECT statement, and concatenate the SQL over several lines as follows:

    MySQL = “SELECT table.col1, table.col2 ”
    MySQL = MySQL & “FROM table ”
    MySQL = MySQL & “Where x = 3″

    •If the number of columns are relatively small, but the SELECT statement selects from multiple tables, create a view. Select against the view, omitting the “table.” prefix in front of the columns.
    •For non-SQL lines of code that are too large, you can use the second workaround listed previously.

    And yes, I’ve written a few apps in ASP. It’s something I’m not proud of. ;)

    Luke: For me, the risks of dealing with Bell are too great to risk it. :)

    You will probably regret having further dealings with Bell via Sympatico also. Sooner or later, they will fuck up and we all know that the customer always gets fucked.

    How did your last Luke vs. Bell episode play out anyway?

    Heh, like I learned last time - the different divisions of Bell are completely separate. Plus I download a metric fuckton each month and have never had a problem. A lot of people download over their cap with Rogers and have no problem, but I just prefer to actually have no cap at all (virtual or policed).

    If Bell eventually does fuck me, well - dialup here I come!
