Internet

[The Saltman]

So I have 2 choices for internet.

AT&T with the max they offer in my area of 1.5 mbps...(what I'm using now).

Or switch back to Comcast for a max of 20 mbps but service that goes out every once in a while and horrible customer service.

Im leaning towards comcast because this shiit is way too slow.

Damnit U-verse come to my area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so do you want a slow connection that doesnt go out or a fast connection that goes out sometimes with bad customer service? What about a verizon card? Time Warner just came out with one too.

[Darth Biscuit]

Yeah I don't have much choice here either other than TWC... I think we have about 3Mbps here at home now... it works for most things. Of the time I spend online, about 2% of it is here so I don't really care.

My company just got 4G verizon cards. I'm not sure what we pay for unlimited data, but they clocked in at about 18 Mbps.

[The Saltman]

The caps with the cards are the problem and the prices are pretty ridiculous.

I think im just gonna go with comcast and a different speed this time which might get me a new router.

I never had any technicians look at it because im a stubborn ass but not this time if the problem happens again.

Lets see because I cant deal with this slow ass internet anymore especially since I just signed with Netflix.

and in this area only comcast is offered. Them and Charter have different sections of East Georgia that they divide so ATT and comcast are my only options

BTW...:(

You may want them to come out and check your cables... TWC did that for me and found some issues inside the house. I had them run a new line outside the house for our downstairs TV and it bypassed the problem in the walls.

Apparently whoever initially ran the cable inside my house put in a splitter somewhere in the walls and it screws up the signals. Once we had that new line run in, our problems stopped.

my fuking 3g cellphone has faster internet..

btw...

whats your service provider?

At&t

thats your problem right there. :D

well with my plan the max is 1.5.

When the guy came in he said that the line from my house to the box outside is probably too far. I just had to get it because I needed internet to work at that time but didnt realize how slow this really is.

Im just gonna bite the bullet and go with comcast.

Keep in mind since you mention Netflix that Comcast has usage limits as well. It is 250gb, so you shouldn't have any problems, but if you plan to watch a lot of movies, it could be an issue.

[The Saltman]

Ya I doubt that much.

[Hawk]

what is this interweb you speak of?

[KillerKat]

do you have the most up to date modem?

[The Saltman]

The dsl has no modem in the house. I think its in the box outside. I'm not sure exactly.

[Floppin]

How does your computer interface with the modem then? Wifi from a box that you don't know the location of?
