holy fucking christ… i’m agreeing with bobby311.
I’ve had Comcast since it was excite@home/ATTBI and I’ve NEVER had a real problem. Before that, I had VerizonDSL for two weeks. It never worked. They never sent anyone out to figure out why, even after I called several times and spent HOURS with the DUMBEST tech support I’ve ever seen. Every person I know who had Verizon (except one) now has Comcast. I think that’s the most telling sentence of all.

Only problem i’ve had w/ Comcast is in the spring there were major DNS problems… and it was happening for about 2 weeks…
i just think they are WAY overpriced…

I have adelphia cable at home. It has worked great and never had a problem with it. They just sent me a new modem in the mail and I plugged it in and it actually worked the first time, i never even had to call anyone about it. adelphia\>\*
I had dsl for a little bit about 4 years ago when it was 640/90 - slow as shit.

and fiber doesn’t really mean that it’s ‘faster’… i’d like to see that fios and exactly how it works… you can still limit fiber lines, shit i’m on a t right now and am limited on downloading… i can download faster at my house on a cable line.

t1=1.5mbps
cable is 4mbps
of course a cable line is faster than a t1 line 😃
my work is slow as fuck compared to home. Too bad I am on my home computer about 1 hour every month. ☹
They say fios is 15mbps dwon and I forget the up speed. i’ll stick with my cable for now.

Verizon is CLAIMING 15Mbps downstream for Fios, IIRC.

if i’m not mistaken, that’s the speed of the ethernet, not the speed of the ISP.
