ok, looks like i need to make a call to knology. mine use to be as fast as you guys'

[03SVTCOBRA]

Comcast hasnt let me down for many years now. I dont use the cable tv from them, but the internet speed is ussually constant.

[Carlrx7]

i ditched comcast b/c of the 150 price tag a month. may go back to just their internet service and go direct tv when nfl package is offered free for next year.

[Mike]

may go back to just their internet service and go direct tv when nfl package is offered free for next year.

Thinking of doing the same thing after looking at comcast speed compared to mine.

Comcast has a special right now 29.95/ for 6 months. What modem do I need to buy?

When you sign up they give you all the equipment. I have had them now for 3 yrs. No problems. Other than when cable goes out. Not that often.

[Mike]

There is a monthly charge to rent their modem. I'd rather buy one. It would pay for itself in 6 months.

[chrisheltra]

Its only like $2/mo

[Mike]

Its only like $2/mo

They told me $7.

[chrisheltra]

Must have gone up

[03SVTCOBRA]

I think its $3 a month for my comcast modem.

[Mike]

I guess it's something for new customers. I just seen the link for the approved modem list, and DOCSIS 2.0 is good for the Performance Plan. They can be had for $25 on ebay.

[03SVTCOBRA]

30 a month is a good deal, but they will jack the price up after 6 months. I think i pay about 50ish per month just for internet.

[Carlrx7]

now im just pissed.

knology guy came out, disconnected my cisco valet m20 router and ran a speed test. 20mb's!! WTF!!

i reset the modem back to factor defaults, while its configing i can run a speed test and it will be 20mb/s as well, but as soon as it says finished, it get knocked down to 3mbs

this is with wireless or wired.

my old ass netgear router spits out 20mbs a sec.

only reason i upgraded was for the n-draft 100mbs for my lan of computers. anyone have any clues why im getting what im getting?

-Carl

[schardbody]

all of you pay so much for download speed, its useless unless you are constantly streaming video or downloading tons of porn.

i pay $22/month, have a 5yr old linksys N router thats probably barely capable of pushing 3mbps.

Yes.

[Carlrx7]

Yes.

[LXtasy]

Yes.

x2 plus playing video games online at the same time:bigthumb:

[Kwiksilver]

When I ran the "big" test I got a good number. When I ran the mini version I got 3mb. Not sure aboun that one.

[Carlrx7]

using my old router now until i can find a fix for the cisco valet.

It was funny at first, but lately its just been a fuckin nightmare. AT&T was the only thing I could get in my new neighborhood, but Comcast just finished running lines last week so I'll be switching to them soon.

You know we actually sell a slow 1.5M. Are you sure you didnt buy the turtle version?

[schardbody]

lol@hometelephone

the ONLY option i have out here.... its actually not that bad i guess for the price i pay compared to the big companies. the cable sucks so i have dish, which sucks worse.

x2 plus playing video games online at the same time:bigthumb:

i get host EVERY match as long as it migrates, if i try to find a match it usually just creates a new lobby by myself and i have to wait for people to join, its aggrivating because most people join one at a time and dont want to wait for more people to joint to start.

my ping is very low for some reason usually in the mid 20s. my best friend has TWC and 18mb download 2.4 upload pings near 60 everytime and i host over him for some reason and he gets pissed because he pays $65/month for his internet.

[chrisheltra]

I lived out there for many, many years so I know what your talking about. Oh and it really is that bad regardless of price.

[schardbody]

i dont think so, i've had time warner for a few years before, and comcast for a year or so and i think this best both of them for half the price.. i have no problem streaming any video in HD wirelessly, i also have upgraded my laptop since then too though which probably has a big effect on my opinion..

the slow home tele internet i was getting .920 download and .250 upload, THAT WAS HORRIBLE for anything except pages full of text like craigslist.
