I"ve been on Cox and Charter... But never Comcast.  I have heard mix things about it.  But i'll tellyou this, anything is better than my Cox At the Moment.

I know a little futher north from me and your in Comcast territory, but from what ya'll say, i'll probably get Clear before i do that...

Buckeye Cable System screwed me over too. I started out with 700Kb/s upload and after a week of some great seeding I noticed it had slowed magnificently. When I rechecked the upload speed I notice it dropped down to 35Kb/s magically. It seems ridiculously unfair to pay the same price for less upload. Not to mention that I have a 12 Meg connection type at my apartment and a 2 Meg connection with Time Warner at my parents house yet I get better upload at the 2 Meg :(

When i seed I get 500KB/s all the time. I download at 2.6MB/s. I also have comcast. I never had a problem with them

strange that's about what i max out as well.
although my upload usually hovers around 260kb.

of course this is on their 12mb plan.
i lust for Fios but i have heard they are turning over info to the DMCA.

It is unacceptable you should phone the bastards and tell them to uncap your internet speeds otherwise switch to wifi

i had comcast before they were throttling things, and while they were throttling before they were caught.

The only positive thing about comcast was i never got a CND letter from them. Which isnt so much a positive as it is not a negative.
I used to have to restart my computer to get internet working on it because comcast would lock me the fuck out for seeding on bit torrents.
Tested on 4 computers to make sure it wasnt something goofy like a NIC problem.


So fuck comcast.


My verizon fios is quite nice im happy with my current upload cap of 5mb, cuz i wont pay extra to upgrade it to 15mb

Are you suggesting that he refrain from purchasing any internet service at all, and just leech off of unsecured hotspots that he can find?  Or was wifi not the word you were looking for?

Heck I still can't get over the fact that most people have a fixed amount of data they can get from the internet every month. Just the thought of having such service disturbs me to no end.

Charter says they have such a policy in effect, but I haven't gotten any notifications, and I'm well over the limit (unless they only count downloads, which seems unlikely, but possible).

hmm.. how long ago was this man? For some reason my conections been just dying lately for some reason lately. I thought the wifi card in the laptop was glitching since it only seemed to fix with a restart (manually turning the card off and on didn't seem to work) But i have been seeding a lot lately.. wonder if thats whats happening

If my upload is being throttled then it goes down to 2Mib/s extremely fast or extremely slow (now more the 1 second or days).

I know its weird, but I don't complain.

Pretty much it, unless you're a genius at tapping into the CIA's internet connection.

I second the leeching of wifi. My lovely 'net cafe has a great connection that I'm pulling over 1 mbs down from. And the coffee ain't bad either.
