My buddy has the basic digital cable/broadband package from Comcast and it's loving blazing fast somehow. Download speed is like 10x what I get from my lovely ISP.

They probably accidentally gave him excellent service out of incompetence. No seriously they might have given him the wrong setup or something and just never noticed because they're incompetent hacks

They have failed me upward at least three times., which still doesn't compensate for their customer "service".

For some reason I can get 20 mbp internet for $100 at my apartment but my parent's house only gets 10 mbp down the street.

I've had Comcast for about a year. It's stupid fast, there are no limits, and now that I think about it my service has never been down other than a half day power outage a few months ago.

Google fiber sends information faster than the speed of light so I don't trust them to not collapse the entire universe in to a singularity while I'm trying to torrent uncensored japanese pornography

Crack local wifi points and use Connectify Dispatch to link them all together for really fast and free internet. Don't do this though you will go to prison for longer than a rich mass murderer.

i tried to switch to at&t a few weeks ago after our internet was down for two weeks due to comcast being a bunch of fucks they somehow managed to send a technician out to install the poo poo, but didn't actually set up an account on their side so it didn't work. later i received mail from them with my name horribly misspelled, and they keep calling my work phone instead of the cell phone number i gave them, even after i immediately canceled with them because really guys so what i'm saying is you're screwed even with options available hahaha

Comcast is poo poo all the way down. poo poo network, poo poo equipment, poo poo service, poo poo prices, poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo As soon as Fios came to our area, comcast lost like half of its customers. Not saying that Fios is perfect or anything(especially with the sneaky limits they put in their routers), but it's miles better than comcast. Hell, the cable internet I got in rural alabama(charter communications, I think?) was faster, cheaper, and infinitely more reliable than my suburban NoVa comcast ever was. It got so bad that it wouldn't stay online for more than 20 minutes at a time, even after they came out and replaced the modem and router. gently caress comcast, and gently caress oligopolies.

my cox contract predates bandwidth limits but they still email me once a month for going over 250gb and beg me to please pay more or face no consequences at all there's a little meter and everything

Well you pretty much deserve that for living in suburban NoVA, filth.

Comcast is now a nesscary evil in my life. Century Link charges $55 a month for 12/1, while Comcast is 50/10 for $58 I really hope I made the right choice here

I finally got rid of Comcast when they wouldn't replace the cable that runs from the pole to my house, even though the insulation was falling off of it in strips. My internet went out every time it rained and they would blame it on my modem. They refused to send out a tech. Jesus guys, that cable was installed 40 years ago. One day I finally said gently caress this, and took everything down to their office and canceled. I'm lucky Tacoma has two cable companies.

I get 120/20 from comcast and only pay for 50/10. I make sure to avoid mentioning this any time I have to call them up because I'm afraid they'll gently caress my speed down to like 56k to make up for lost time I also blow through their bandwidth "limit" like that dude further up the thread but they don't seem to give a singular poo poo

He's paying for Blast Plus, which is 50/10 but is getting 120/20. Comcast quite often sends the wrong boot file.

my only internet choice here is time warner, despite being in a loving major city, its just how they worked it out with this apartment complex. Unsurprisingly, the service is more expensive and shittier than if I lived one block down the street THE FREE MARKET WILL PROVIDE

Comcast is kind of expensive here I guess (like 70$ for 50mbs?) but honestly it pretty much rules, latency is excellent and there's no cap at all. The only time I hated Comcast was when I was trying to get them to turn off the router function on their box (so I could use my better one) and I'm pretty sure I gave a dude in India an actual panic attack because he had literally no idea what was going on and eventually started freaking out and I had to hang up because it was unbelievably awkward.

I'm paying $45 for 6/1. But at least it isn't Comcast. It's just some local isp so hodunk that they don't even verify any information when I call up about billing or whatever, which is kinda concerning.

I'm in a Comcast-only area. At least since Netflix paid them out the rear end to throttle their signals less, my Netflix has been beautiful. That's 60-70% of my internet usage anyway so my life could be worse.
