Back in the XL and early IS days, Chicago had at least 4 headends. Now we have 2, which is basically North and South.

Philly still has dozens of Comcast headends, but that will probably change soon though. Comcast has combined headends in Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Miami, so it could happen to Philadelphia too. I just hope it doesn't happen anytime soon.

Seems like they've already started though... didn't the Bensalem and Levittown headends merge?

Hmm, is it me or do the roads on the traffic overview maps look bolder than they used to?

Mike, I saw that too. It seemed to be an error. I have a pic that I'll upload later on...

On Weatherscan, it's only showing the bolder roads it on the first map, and not the second, zoomed in one. Weird.

Maybe they just want you to know that those roads are really important. :P

Then they're highlighting the wrong roads. I-376 is most certainly the most important road on that map. :P

speaking of which...are there any plans for the traffic maps to return to other Intellistars? i'm kinda pissed it didn't last long here.
