I just logged into my Comcast account just to see if Seattle upped it speeds and I had this pop up for signing up for some TV package. You literally cannot make it go away or click on ANYTHING else on the screen without adding it to your cart.

Are you loving kidding me?



So many turgid nipples in their marketing department.

Comcast doesn't throttle. If your speeds are dropping every night, it probably means there is a problem with the website you're connecting to

or it means the neighborhood's uplink is grossly overprovisioned? I've had the exact same issue with cable internet from two different providers in two different neighborhoods. Prime Netflix time was basically unusable.

Can't go wrong with 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (Google's public DNS servers)

Probably can. Can't imagine that traffic across those isn't cross-referenced and added to your ever growing dossier at Alphabet central.
