merrilln Posted April 14, 2005 CID Share Posted April 14, 2005 Comcast is coming tomorrow because I have brand new Cable Internet service, less than a week, and most of the time it is way slower than the DSL it replaced. Will someone please explain these results to me? Does anyone have problems with using a Comcast Cable modem to access AOL? I have the Motorola SURFboard Model SB5120 :::..

DaveMan Posted April 14, 2005 CID Share Posted April 14, 2005 Dont ever use AOL's service with comcasts router while using their service, they tried to offer me their service like 3 times. They told me their highest speed can reach up to 10mbps, they are a bunch of liars. Plus why do u want aol when you already have comcast internet?

It doesn't matter if AOL can reach 10Mbps, Comcast limits you to their speeds, either 4Mb/384Kb or 6Mb/768Kb. AOL is just an add-on to your service. I'd personally get rid of AOL and save that $14.95/mo or whatever the price is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
