Tool tool tool your boat gently down the stream....
Do you ever stop being a dumbass?
Every thread I see you in you're saying stupid shit.
Let's compare non-promotional rates and compare speeds, no?
Be sure to pm me in 2 years. That's when my current rate ends. And unlike today, I'd guess that 90% of your hood will be on Docsis 3 by then. We'll do a speed test, and then download a torrent of whatever distro of linux is popular, and we will do it between 6-8pm on a weekday. Unless I upgrade to the next tier, I know that my speed will average exactly what I'm paying for, 25mbps. Yours however, will drop to at least 70% of what you pay for after about 15 minutes. I say at least 70%, because that's what it does now. :biggrin:

I used to be able to download at 1.2mb/sec, now I can't download past about 300 kbps on comcrap.
They're making it faster and faster because they're probably losing customers left and right to FiOS and U-verse.I have hit upwards of 3mb/s downloading games with Comcast. I have been using Comcast since it hit my area, and have enjoyed every minute of it. I was originally anticipating FIOS for a long time but Comcast keeps making their stuff faster and faster... I don't know if FIOS will be worth it anymore.

Nope. Their goal was and still is 100% docsis 3.0 by end of calendar year 2010. They are the leading MSO in 3.0 deployment and market penetration. Basically Comcast is the leader in cable internet service. It's not even close.
-edit-
And IIRC they wanted 80% by end of 2009 which was an incredible undertaking.
Heh. Comcast is faster... for about 30 seconds before they start throttling the shit out of their co-called "PowerBoost" speeds for large downloads. Keep downloading those large files, and they'll throttle you to even slower speeds that make low-end DSL look good in comparison.
Yeah, yeah, I know... how dare their users actually attempt to utilize their co-called "unlimited" bandwidth they were promised in the commercials. They should be a good little sheep and pony up $295 a month for a T1 line just to make network admins like yourself happy.
Maybe that's because they've bought out all the small/better cable companies? It's hard not to be the "leader" when you have absolutely NO competition in most cities. I have a choice between comcast and...well, as far as cable goes, no one! I switched to DTV years ago and it's light years beter than Comcast.
It's sad when you're too stupid to realize that your company has an obvious problem when the majority of your customers hate you. Spidey, have you ever wondered why you're always having to defend comcast? You never see threads about how great comcast is. I see threads about how great TIOS is and about how happy they are switching from comcast ALL THE TIME. Does that not suggest anything to you? Comcast and their stupid fucking employees obviously need a lesson in customer experience. You provide the worst customer experience out of any company I've ever used. That's saying a lot because I even use SPRINT!!! Sprint is far better than Comcast.
Unfortunately for me, Fios isn't in my area. I will dump Comcast internet as soon as it is. I guess I need to look into U-Verse, but I didn't realize it was run on Fiber. I thought it was DSL.
No, what is sad is you don't understand basic business. WHY did comcast become the largest multi-system operator (MSO). I don't work for comcast and never have. I'm a very happy customer of an independent system operator (ISO) for my voice/video/data on a residential level.
Because the made the correct business decisions, my ISO tried to get their service area bought by comcrap and they told them to fuck off.
go-go-gadget competition. This board just can't comprehend, nor has any experience on this subject.
I'm pretty sure you've said before that you don't work for Comcast but you have in the past... I'd look for the thread, but trying to find that post in all of the threads where you've defended Comcast would be a daunting task. Either way, I don't believe you.
Also, the go-go-gadget thing is pretty lame... It's great when there is competition, but it sucks when you don't have many options. I'm glad I have options.
They (comcast) have never signed my paycheck. Have I done engagements with them for design work, yes.
BIG difference.
Meaning you were a contract worker or worked for a temp agency. I got money says he worked for help desk or tech support through a employment agency.
Defend Comcast all you want. Simply making good business decisions and being the largest does not make you a good company. You failed to even answer to my point about the lack of any and all customer experience initiatives at Comcast. The company has one of the lowest customer satisfactions that I've seen out of most companies. You hear people talk great things about Costcos and companies like that. Do you know why? They value the customer, yet still make a profit and can be a market leader. Comcast doesn't give a crap about their customers. It's been proven time and time again.
