Rerouted?

Hi, comcast just took over in my town from insight communications. my ping used to be 74.etcetc but now says 98. etcetc . when i used to do speed tests it would show my current location as my home city but now with the new ping it shows me near still water Oklahoma  and thats like 4 states away.  my pings have been terrible for months now. sigh.... im thinking i will have to switch back to verizon dsl, it may be slower but atleast my pings will be better and my dl more consistent.

My thoughts are Comcast is still working on there network in getting things the way they need them, When TWC took over Adelphia, I had similar issues, maybe just be patient w/ them and watch how they change there network.

Hell, for me, the change over has been nearly 18 months, and I still see some of Adelphia's server names from time to time.

EDIT: BTW, it all worked out for the better after several months of insanity lol
