Finally I am off of comcast. When I called in to cancel the comcast account talk about hostal, the person tried to tell me I did not know anything about computers and my setup was all wrong and I was causing my own problem. At that point I got angry and told him 1) I know what I am doing tell him I am not an idiot when it comes to computers, listing that I am a programmer and have a BS in CS 2) their own technicians saw my setup and said nothing about it.
I am just glad to have canceled the service (both internet and TV)

The speed results, not the fastest but if it stays stable it will be better.

6 more days and my Verizon DSL will be up and I will be able to cancel comcast. I hope they get it up faster then by the 20th, I got the modem today, I just have to hold till they turn things on.

As I type this post I am on hold with verizon, I am going to dump comcast and get DSL. Why am I dumping comcast, well I am tired of horrible connectivity to no connectivity. it is every day from 6pm to 8pm. I finally had it today when I called in for the second time today about the outage. Guys solution was to send another guy out to try to fix it, at that point I said don’t bother I am calling another ISP and hung up. I am getting tired of it. Some of my friends on line call comcast comcrap and I can see why.

For the last 2 weeks I have had the most unstable internet connection, if it was not for the fact that comcrap had a monopoly here I would drop them so fast, but there is on other option, no fios, no other real high speed options, if fios ever comes to Indian Head MD I will be canceling comcrap so fast. I am a very dissatisfied costumer.


For anyone that reads this in MD I urge you if you have the choice go with any one (ANY ONE) else you will thank me when you have a stable connection.

I am so pissed at comcast right now. I get told we will have a tech out there tomorrow, be home from 1 to 5pm. So I have to take time off work, well I am there from 1 to 5 no one comes, I call in and get “oh you did not have to be home it was the technician for outside” I still don’t have high speed internet. I am so pissed that I called verizon to see about fios (and for those of you that know me, know I hate verizon) and that is not available in my area. Now wondering what my other options are.

Edit: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r23220976-How-to-get-service you can see some people tring to help me work it out at that post (I am mpop, like I need to tell any one that would read this site)

Well I am going though all my Music and Podcasts on my Itunes and cleaning it up. There are some podcasts I just don’t listen to anymore, and I don’t think I will be again, so I have deleted them from my computer (freed up over 50 Gigs of room).
