there was never anything officially announced to me. they said that my modem may not have been picking up the DHCP request due to variances in the signal strength - or some such bullshit. i think i just alerted them to what i was doing and their net.gestapo came down on me. if your's go over smoothly, then don't whatever you do, don't call their tech-support! in fact - now that I think about it - perhaps they were attempting to migrate me over all those times it went down for 4-5 hours in the middle of the day! that is probably a low usage time, since many home users would be at work. hmmm... bastards!
