Switched to Comcast bc of CSN but now I've had it!!!!

I have att now, but comcast internet destroys uverse. Even at the same level comcast internet is just so much faster.

 

I love Comcast's product. The new box, the internet speed, the production quality of CSN. But yeah, should you have a problem and need to contact their customer service - you're ****ed. Absolutely ****ed.

 

*When it is working.

A huge problem with Comcast for me was the internet going out. No rhyme or reason it would just stop working for an hour or two. Tried about 10 different routers and modems to no avial. Tested lines and the works. They simply couldn't give me a good reason for the outages.

Meanwhile, U-verse just keeps on ticking. It could be faster, but I'll sacrifice a bit of speed for stability - especially considering I work from home frequently. With that said, U-verse TV blows Comcast out of the water.

 

Never had an issue with them that wasn't fixed in a timely and friendly manner. Plus they're a great source of free AA batteries.

 

This just happened to me again yesterday. Horrible.

 

Regarding internet, this is 100% my experience. Since the internet speeds in U-Verse are plenty fast enough for the streaming I do, reliability easily trumps speed this time.

The difference in TV was the whole-home DVR of U-Verse vs Comcast not having it. Forget everything else: This reason alone is why I could never go back to Comcast.

 

I don't think DirecTV blows in my opinion. Or Verizon Fios but that's not available in the Houston area.

I'm a happy Comcast internet subscriber. 105mbps service. The uptime on my router is about about 9+ months currently. Haven't turned it off since. Probably last time was due to a power outage.

Just don't use your own equipment with Comcast. I use a Buffalo Airstation router with DD-WRT on it and a Motorola 6141 as my modem. Got QOS setup (although probably not necessary with all my bandwidth), even have a VPN setup externally so I can be on my home network without actually being there, and it works great everywhere.

**** CSN. They will never be able to stop me from watching my Rockets and I'm a happy direcTV subscriber.

 

BALLSTREAMS DOT MUTHA FREAKIN COM!!

 

How do you get the batteries?


Btw, have had Comcast for a year and other than having to call a robot to resend signal to my box a couple of times (signal comes back immediately) I've had zero problems with them.

 

Uverse + ballstreams FTW

I can't wait for Google to start forcing these lazy telecom companies to actually you know IMPROVE THEIR PRODUCT.
Why the **** am I paying $80/mo for 50mbps when I could get Google's 1000mbps internet for $70/mo.

WTF!!!!!! Please Google. SAVE US.

 

LOL! Now that's funny.

I love U-verse's wireless receivers too. I didn't have to run ugly cables all over the condo to get TV where I wanted it.

DirecTV is a great service if it isn't storming. No complaints otherwise. I had to opt for U-verse for the wireless receiver. If I didn't have U-verse I'd have DirecTV.

The whole internet speed problem in the US sucks! I'm in Austin right now, and AT&T is offering a 300Mbps for $75 a month - because Google is here to wake their asses up with Google Fiber. Which basically tells me they can offer that kind of speed anywhere, they are just too damn greedy to do it.
