**** you Comcast! (IT Question inside)


Recommended Posts

I'm getting .49Mbps download speed. I'm paying for 3Mbps. Until about a month ago I did consistently get 3Mbps.

I called comcast and they claim the slow speed is due to an old modem, of course after trying to sell me more shit I don't need.

It makes no sense to me. Could a modem that used to pass 3Mbps no problem "get weak" and suddenly only pass .49Mbps?

It sounds like complete bullshit to me. They either work or they don't right?

I'm so pissed off right now. Maybe I'm wrong. Even if I am wrong **** comcast!

i've had the same modem from when i've had 3 Mbps and now I have 15 or 20 so not sure if modems can handle more or how it all works, but they keep upping the speeds.

It's a marketing gimic ... they either slowed you down to sell you an upgrade.

............ or there is a serious problem with the connection to your home.

I would set up a service call. Water /ingress signals getting in your lines will cause havoc with data transmission.

I use to make repairs like this on a daily basis.

Thank you for answering. It's crazy how angry a man can get when the cat video he's trying to watch loads slowly.

F YOU COMCAST!!!!!

Are you by any chance in cottage grove? We have a ton of old lines here and I know many people who have dealt with the same problem.. I'd bet they need to come out and replace a line.

it really depends on the area. they are all bad at some point. at the end of the day just pay the lowest price for the most stuff because they all fail.

They do all fail. I have never had comcast. I keep switching between the two that are offered near me. when my contract ends every 2 years the service turns to shit, coincident? I don't think so. I've had high speed internet since 2003 and have gone round and round with these companies, they all suck.

I left Comcast because they are absolutely horrible. I was doing a online college class a year or so ago, had to turn my final in at X week. Apparently our service was causing a disturbance to the whole local system or just the houses around me. Without any mention they came in and disconnected us and didn't say shit for a few days. We had to pressure them just to figure out why our service was off. Needless to say I was able to finish that final. So just leave them and be done with it. My last AT&T one had to be replaced because it went faulty and started getting shitty. We paid for 20mb/s but would get around 10 at non traffic hours.
