death2death Posted January 23, 2007 CID Share Posted January 23, 2007 Ever since Comcast took over my Adelphia connection in my area, my connection has been horrible. This is the first time I have been able to connect in about 5 days. I have called them and they couldn't do anything over the phone and told me to do some really stupid things. Anyway the earliest they can send someone out is February 1st. My speed right now is horribly slow and I really dont want to wait until Feb.1st. So if anyone might be able to help please tell me anything. :::..

tommie gorman Posted January 23, 2007 CID Share Posted January 23, 2007 I would say read here first. http://www.testmy.net/t-4257 But it sounds like it is on there end probably. If it started with them taking over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithkarl Posted January 23, 2007 CID Share Posted January 23, 2007 I would use another computer, or go to an Internet Cafe if that exists where you are if you really need to use a PC right now! When I trouble with slow internet connection that comes from the ISP end I had nothing else to do. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted January 23, 2007 CID Share Posted January 23, 2007 that is on there end, i don't think there is anything that you can, but call back and see if you can get a tech out sooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted January 23, 2007 CID Share Posted January 23, 2007 at least you're still faster than dialup. i wonder if them taking over the connection means that theyare channeling everything into their backbone or kept the existing contracts. it could be that they have a problem with bandwidth on their end atm because some of their rented backbone contracts need to be renegotiated. otherwise call and REMAIN POLITE, remember, the guy you are talking to isn't to blame for your troubles, and see if you can't get an earlier response and make sure you request a refund for the time with bad connections.
