Anyone else have comcast cable internet? My chit is SLLLLOOOOOOWWWWW today...
I had to come home at 1 because manbearpig had a fever so he couldn't stay at daycare... he's sleeping and I am trying to work... and my interwebz are pokey.
I did a speed test and was at 1.5 megabits per second... my UPLOAD speed was actually faster than download...

Verizon- dieinafire
Seriously... fios sounds cool and all that... but
a) it's not available where I live (which is BFE, apparently)
b) it's verizon... a company upon which I have sworn jihad
3) i just wanted to make a non-sequential alpha-numeric list _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

Yes... dls sucks balls
I can't believe you got FiOS and didn't get the TV package... IT'S GOD MAD WIDGETS, YO!
Then again... I am one 100 dollar set top box away from dropping cable
Seriously... The only reason we have cable is for my wife's damn midget shows on TLC _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

Yes, I have just internet. I don't want or need a landline and I get all the TV I care for via digital antennae (plural - one for each TV). _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

We've had Comcast for television & internet for years. Now for VoIP, too.
The service is generally good, though there are times that they suck. Especially when they're giving you some obviously false reason for a slow down in service. One of the teachers at the computer center used to manage their internet service here until they moved his job to Denver and laid him off. He told me that almost all of their service problem explanations are total bs. They're only as good as their investments in infrastructure. _________________ "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." ~Martin Luther King Jr.
