Comcast Blows!!

[Rex]

What is the next best option? Unfortunately I'm kinda addicted to cable modem are there any other providers out there that are just as fast or close and I will get better service and any cheaper...is there such an animal??

[Tommyh]

nope. cable is the same speed up or down. adsl is fast down, slow up, as is the rest of the pack.

I have DSL and I am very happy with there service..........

You can have my Comcast when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers. Few providers can give you speeds like these.

dont go with sudden link. we have been having problems with them for about 6 months now. sometimes internet works and sometimes it doesnt or it will be slower then dialup. i email them and it starts working good within 20 -30 minutes for a couple of days then goes back to messsing up.

whoa. i did that speed test thing and didn't come anywhere close to those numbers. i use some directtv/verizonDSL deal. Seems fast enough to me though.

I just recently got switched from roadrunner to comcast. While I love the speed of cable, I'm fed up with having only one option (DSL doesn't cut it, our provider's service is just as bad as comcast)! For example, my cable went out two weeks ago on a Friday morning. After a few calls with them telling us it was our modem/cable box, I decided to check the closest connection on my side to their side. No dice. No signal. I went behind my fence to find where they had been out there, marking lines, digging and such. It was pretty cut and dried that during whatever work was done, a line was cut, not connected or something. IT TOOK A FULL WEEK AND DOZENS OF CALLS FOR THEM TO FIX IT. They missed several of their appointments and we never saw a repairman. We were told by a "manager" that this was unacceptable only to have them not show up for the next two appointments. After a week, it suddenly started working again. I wanted to burn the place down!!!!!!

Unless you are downloading and uploading lots of huge files or videos, DSL is plenty fast enough.

I had Comcast and was pating $65 a month for it and switched to DSL for $19.99 a month and for general surfing and some video downloading it's plenty fast.

The New ATT deal is supposed to be way better and cheaper than Comcast

This is the speed I am getting with Suddenlink. Our internet cost us $22 "in a package with a lifetime discount", but we were paying $129 per month. I just called them about 3 days ago and they tweaked the package and got it down to $116 a month for the cable TV with internet. Is this about what it cost everyone else? I sure wish I could pick up a TV signal with an antenna, this cable TV is a rip off! I've seriously thought about going to satellite, but I can't keep my cable internet unless I also have cable TV. I don't think the total bill with DSL and satellite TV would save much over what I am paying now.

Not saying that Comcast isn't fast..it is



It just cost to dang much...And the CS is less than desirable

[Rex]

Anyone with the AT&T service..I would like to see some speeds from them. Does anyone else offer a cable modem service in the Houston area???
