Fuck these guys.

I have 100mbps internet. I have a SB6141, DOCSIS 3.0 modem, capable of 343mbps internet.

My neighborhood/service area keeps having outages. 10/10 times, it's been their problem. Never me. (Obviously if my entire neighborhood is out.)

The guy today, just confirmed an outage, then proceeded to tell me the reason I've been having so many issues is because my cable modem is EOL and I need to replace it.

They've sent a tech, twice. I bought a new 1.4gbps cable modem just to make them happy, and it caused me more problems. It obviously didn't solve any, since it's not me, it's them. So I returned it.

Seriously, fuck these guys. I really wish the Republicans weren't so sold out to corporate interests that we could get some competition in the internet realm. My only alternative is 3mbps dsl. Tell me how a 100mpg car is comparable to a 3mpg car. Really. Do it. I dare you.

Well, the 3mpg car will piss off liberals to no end. So there's that.

You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado convertible, Hot pink with whaleskin hub caps and all leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights, yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in that baby at 115mph getting one mile per gallon, sucking down quarter pounder cheese burgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers and when I'm done sucking down those grease ball burgers, I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag and then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam container right out the side and there ain't a God damned thing anybody can do about it. YOu know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why.

Two words. Nuclear fucking weapons, okay?! Russia, Germany, Romania - they can have all the Democracy they want. They can have a big democracy cake-walk right through the middle of Tiananmen square and it won't make a lick of difference because we've got the bombs, okay?! John Wayne's not dead - he's frozen. And as soon as we find the cure for cancer we're gonna thaw out the duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well multiple that by 15-million times, that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be.

Don't forget to park in handicapped spaces while handicapped people make handicapped faces...

No cure for cancer was so awesome, still is.

When I had Comcast, I learned not to bother with their phone support. Go to one of their Xfinity store locations and they will actually be helpful.

And the moment something else is available, drop them like a hot potato.

One nice thing about moving to Spokane is I'll have some options again. Sure, Centurylink is up in Bonney Lake, but maxes out at 1.5Mbps. My Comcast is a 20Mbps but usually runs a bit less (of course). Not many outages to speak of, but their rates SUCK.

I have 3mb DSL. I do just fine.

I can stream any movie I find. I can do everything else at speeds that take just a bit longer than instantaneous. I can download the word faster than I can read it.

I don't see how my life would be improved by instantaneous. You really ARE an impatient cuss! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Oh, and my truck gets 9 to 10 miles per gallon. :bigsmile:

Not sure that my experience will help you, but here we go. I live in an area only served by Comcast. PacBell/CenturyLink/whatever they were/are called is also here, ut they are still using copper wire (1.5 mbps at best). I used to have Comcast, but only for internet (no TV for me). I killed it, went to wireless via Verizon. Incredibly, both cheaper and faster.

I have 71tb of raw storage that isn't going to fill itself. Filling it at 3mbps will take forever.

Don't forget to do a grille guard made out of rainbow unicorn horns, and a tiger hide exterior instead of paint.

Mount a pair of 6-71 blowers, with nitrous, headers, straight pipes, and I think you can get it down to 10 gallons per mile.

Finish it off with a bumper sticker that reads " Save Gas, Fart In A Jar. "

And everyone world wide knows it is " noockleear " bombs and stuff.

The problem is not the national Congress or the FCC so much as it is the LFA. Local Franchise Authority.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_franchise_authority

They grant utility monopolies for internet, phone and TV. Remember when Verizon FIOS tried breaking into the Puget Sound and Comcast tried arguing the LFA had given them a special agreement to be the high speed provider? FIOS responded by saying that they were so far above Comcast's speeds that they were a different product range altogether. Instead of improving their service to compete, Comcast simply throttled the crap out of their ancient 1990s cable network to give less than 1% of their customers the same speeds that FIOS offered and then went to the LFA and told them that Verizon was infringing on their agreement and the LFA kicked FIOS out. FIOS got angry and sold their holdings to Frontier and left Washington. Comcast even engaged in a celebratory advertising campaign with billboards and commercials reading: "Verizon FIOS is leaving Washington, Comcast Xfinity is here to stay."
