Uverse. Getting ready to play the game and switch again to comcast. has mostly to do with tv cable service.
get the discount if i switch again. and again. Suggest if ya want to play the game request to talk to someone from
the customer retention dept. they will either give you a discount and or free service for a while. My last talk was $70 off a month for a yr on cable tv and free hbo, cinamax etc for 6mo. getting tired of the game though.

It'd be nice if more ISPs 'played ball' and had multiple coverage in certain areas.

Google Fiber pulled out of installing in my 'hood, stuck with TWC/Spectrum for the forseeable future.
$30/mo for ~60/5 isn't too bad though.

$45/mo for 100/10 for me :D

I have zero complaints about Verizon Fios. Only ever had one issue (minor billing) and it was resolved by someone over the phone in less than 10 minutes including wait time. Never had a single outage or service issue. 100/100 for $70 a month.

If I could get away with it I'd never give Comcast another dime of my money.

Stuck with Comcast @ a recent update to 100 MbPS down. They are the only good ISP around other than shity DSL. I've read at Broadbandreports that Comcast is a tier 1 ISP anyway. Wish we have Fios. I switch to that in no time!

My town is suppose to roll out their own ISP. I even voted for it and it passed. So that should create some nice competition and lower the price.

Is that the fastest Comcast offers in your area?

Grande Communications. I have gigabit (currently 1000mbps down and only 50mbps up tho :() and it's really good. Hard to test speeds without torrenting though, most speedtest sites have problems going above 480mbps because the test isn't long enough.

I get 12mbps down and 1.5 up. There's always somebody that has it way worse and way better than you. Just like everything else in life it seems. :p

Why would you complain when you're getting 175Gbps down? You could host the internet for a small country with that.
