Theace1 Posted August 12, 2005 CID Share Posted August 12, 2005 Switched some SBC Yahoo. Comcast is awesome, I got the 4mb/354kb? plan. I'm in Chicago and Comcast is supposed to upgrade the speeds here...can't wait. I also got it Digital Cable (Switched from Directv). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theace1 Posted August 12, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 12, 2005 On the Contrary, I've had it for 2 years, and it never went down once, very reliable, and I would definitely recommend it for the average surfer, but the speeds were starting to get a bit outdated for me. I download a lot of big files so 1.5mb up isn't enough, anymore at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theace1 Posted August 13, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 13, 2005 I'm on the southside, I've heard nothing but good things about Comcast here, guess we don't have it as bad as the east side of America. nice speeds for your plan dude, I hope i get those when they upgrade me. I just cancelled my SBC account, they literally begged me to stay. Even offered me 15 dollars a month for the same plan i had, in which is what it is now, but when i signed up it was $30. Representive was lucky I didn't bring that up, and ask for the money she owed me. (jk) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
