Comcast sucks!

Comcast has been great here........fast service, and the guy actually knew what he was doing.   I was getting 700kps-1.0meg downloads, and when the guy left, I was downloading at 1.7meg.
Comcast is ok by me as far as cable companies go........because I use to have @home, and they sucked.

Just got cable out here in the woods finally. Comcast was excellent in customer service and setting me up.  I've gone from 225 ms in the MA to 53 ms.  Its actually faster than the T1 line at work. Woot!  Best part is, I can do a virtual work day from my home office whenever I chose, just signed the paperwork with my boss last week :D

you guys actually let them install software on your PC?  Sounds like you are morons too...

Friend of mine let them do that, I ended up having to re-image his machine for him because they bluescreened it.  Guess what I didn't install squat and he's up and running...

Yeah, what ^he^ said. Never let them install their software on your system.  No way, no how.  Thats almost like having AOL as a ISP. :D

Just had Comcast cable installed here too. Had to fight with the guy that he wasn't going to install anything on my pc ,told him  that I worked with an ISP and can install my connection after he calls in the MAc Id.  I finally won out after signing a paper stating I told him not to touch my pc. My cable connection has worked great since. Can't say that for my previous SBC DSL.

Comcasts deal with Giganews servers really sucks. They give you a gig a month free. They state downloading headers wont come outta the gig, yet it still does. There goes my mp3 leeching.
