Consider this, you don't have to be a customer of Comcast, HughesNet, or AT&T anymore.

- wil421 5y agoYea but I’m not sure a Musk company is that much better. Tesla has lots of promises over the years about FSD combined with pricing swings. I pay Comcast $100 for a Gigabit that’s reliable for voice calls. Looked into Starlink but couldn’t justify the download/upload speeds for the price or the loss of service. Not sure why a lot of people say it’s for the country. I’m barely outside of a major metro area and was eligible for it a while back.
- BitwiseFool 5y agoI literally hate Comcast.
- wil421 5y agoYou have no idea how bad it hurts me to use them. AT&T only offers crappy DSL at my place. They wired my neighborhood up for fiber and stopped 5 houses in each direction. They want thousands of dollars to complete the line to my house and the neighbors in between. My last house had AT&T fiber with symmetrical gigabit. Comcast is 1Gb up and 50Mb down, good luck ever seeing 50Mb and it used to be 25Mb max. At my families vacation house Comcast is the only option. It was the same when I lived in apartments. They would make deals with the complex to be the sole provider.
- rexf 5y agoComcast is awful. We have comcast in the bay area, but we get constant outages throughout the day making the internet service extremely unreliable. AT&T DSL isn't a real contender to Comcast cable, so Comcast is the only realistic option. If I could switch off Comcast (to another cable internet provider or fiber), I would do so in a heartbeat. Comcast has been a consistent, horrible monopoly.
