We just signed up for broadband service with comcast and i'm shocked at how slow the downloading speed is for this ISP!
We cannot even watch videos on our computer, any more, any type, it's just so stuttery, and slow..
YouTube, forget it..
We got a brand new modem/router from them, so that shouldn't be the problem. Our hard drive is new, and we have 10.4 on our IMac... we have a 700 Mhz PowerPC G4.
Do we forget Comcast and try go with someone else?
I know that AT&T has the new U Verse.. have anyone tried that.
I've never had broadband before, but this is much slower than our previous DSL.
Something's wrong here. The technician who came out, didn't seem very adept at much of anything honestly. It was new service, but it took him, literally over 4 hours to install the new cable lines, drill holes, etc....
He wasn't very pleasant to deal with either.. It was rainy out and he insisted that if he could get both the tv & internet service hooked up that day, I'd be charged an EXTRA fee for having someone come back & hook up what he couldn't do that day!
Finally I had to convince him to get it all done, since I couldn't afford to pay extra for another installation.
I've been doing a bit of research on the web and see NUMEROUS complaints about Comcast service!
We only got them and AT&T to choose from, I think, but DSL was much better service than this garbage. Even downloading a simple webpage, not a video seems to take much more time than I thought it would.
Is there some page I can download to make the downloads faster?
Help.. I need to be able to watch videos.
