ANOTHER LYING CORPRORATION Comcast only wants to service major markets or metropolitan areas.
Very misleading one of the greatest lying lobbying corporations not to trust out there.
Good luck with finding another service I say stay away from Comcast!
They came out at least a dozen times. It would work okay for awhile then I would have to download movies to watch them. TV kept cutting in/out too. They dug up the main cable and replaced it all the way to the road which helped a lot. Then they jacked their triple play to $200 a month and I asked for a discount. Guys on their end (I called 3 times) basically blew me off and I said F it and went Dishnet and now the 2 years is up and their price jumped too high so it's time to change again. Oh, and I'm in town, next to one of the biggest malls in the PNW.Stuka wrote:Seriously?badaboom wrote:I thought Comcast's recent ad shows a couple ranchers out in middle of nowhere with service and a duvet and they get service.

I live in a very rural area, Comcast works flawlessly for me. It works great in many rural areas. But that doesn't mean it will work perfectly for every single house hold. The amount of bandwagon hate for Comcast is almost comical, since the vast majority of people don't even know why they hate them. Have they had issues, sure. But mostly with individuals that work for them, and when you have 126,000 employees, you are bound to get some bad eggs.
If he was truly getting speeds that slow, it means there was something seriously wrong with the lines and/or equipment.
No, they really are terrible across the board, not just a few "bad eggs". I'm sure some good people work for Comcast, but from practice to policy, it's a terrible company.Stuka wrote: The amount of bandwagon hate for Comcast is almost comical, since the vast majority of people don't even know why they hate them.

I totally know what you're saying. Where I lived on the north side of Everett Mall, behind Toys"r"us and Michaels I was RIGHT next to the Everett Police headquarters with their comms hub. If there were running any kind of drill or having a busy night their antenna knocked out my internet.carnuck wrote:Part of my problem seems to be a cellphone tower between us and Alderwood mall (less than 200 feet from my place). The guy from Clearwire was here and so embarrassed he couldn't get enough signal to play his intro video

While better than dialup, those speeds are horrible. Take that is DSL from the ISP you have. Shame they don't have DSL2 there.
