comcast internet is slow in my experience. Much slower than advertised. Comcast has also done a lot of bittorrent throttling, given there are legitimate uses for bittorrent.
Also in my local market there is comcast or att dsl. ATT dsl is slower than comcast, so I'm forced to pick the lesser of two evils.
- dangrossman 15y agoIf your Comcast internet is much slower than advertised, there's a problem, and it's likely fixable. It can be bad cables or splitters in the house, poor signal from being too many splitters from the source, a bad modem, wrong service settings for your account on Comcast's end, many things. If you call Comcast and are willing to do some serious troubleshooting with a technician at your house, you should be able to get the advertised speeds. I've done so at 7 different homes in the past 6 years, but only after doing some work at each one.

- chopsueyar 15y agoThis is fine for personal use (if you have the time to spare), but for a client's business this is impractical. How many hours of serious troubleshooting would you bill a client for? The last business I worked with had to have the tap at the pole replaced, plus new connectors and removal of many splitters.
- rawsyntax 15y agoI hear what you're saying here. But I get to pay $40 a month... to have to troubleshoot and fix my own connection? I think comcast should stay on top of their shit, isn't that what we pay for?
