Time Warner took over the Los Angeles franchise from Comcast early this year.
Time Warner said "Your existing web pages will be transferred in their entirety." (email March 14, 2007 6:48 AM)
Comcast had a web space allocation of 182 megabytes, I was using about 160 megabytes
Today, their website says: "You are offered 25 free megabytes of web space!", this noticed at http://home-admin.rr.com/ while I was talking to Dave (senior technician) as he was telling me that Time Warner would only give me 5 megabytes of web space. He thought that the website was incorrect - 4/18/07
In addition, the customer "must manually edit the absolute references to point to your images or pages using a relative path. Absolute references to links or images in your html files will need to be edited and changed to relative links referring to your directory structure (see image below for an example of a directory structure). Editing the html to change to relative references in your directory structure means that you should change absolute links to images and files within your Personal Home Pages"
(My web pages, if migrated from Comcast will have thousands of these issues)
I see no good reason that personal web page URL structure needed changing in the first place, especially that the host server name is ftp://upload.comcast.net
( from General FTP Setup, from http://www.help.rr.com/HMSFaqs/e_ftpsetup.aspx?topic=Personal+Home+Pages )
The technician and I got messages like this "Road Runner Help & Member Services information is unavailable at this time" several times while on the phone, 4/18/07.
These specific questions remaining unanswered.
1- How much web space is allocated/ or willing to allocate to my account?
2- Where do I find the specifications for this account?
3- Where do I view and manage my web space file structure and size from your site?
4- Why couldn't the former Comcast web space contents be left in place? (at least for a year or two)
