I found this to be amusing.
Go Granny Go!!!
I'm going to rent her out to attack my local Comcast office. Maybe smashing my cable box will allow my internet connection to stay on longer than 30 minutes.
I keep getting junk-mail from these douchebags.
"All the best HD Programming"
Bullshit. You have 5 Locals, 5 National channels, and Nesn in HD and thats it.
In the past month DirecTV has added more channels every week than you have on your enitre network. They don't even have Discovery HD on thier pathetic lineup.
I used to work in that industry and let me tell you - Comcast is one fucked up company.
They spent $3 Billion on their new corproate HQ in downtown Philly. Guess who gets to pay for that? me.
What type of Modem is it? Is it the Motorola or the RCA? If it's Motorola ... take it back to the office and ask for a new one, all Motorola's that were issued from November of 2006 and now are refurbished. If its RCA. You need to have Customer Service send out a internet AND TV tech. Its usually bad wiring and an old cable splitter.Quote:

To Razor: Since you live in Jersey City your phone center is in Brick. And if you get any static at your Customer Service office ask to speak to Raina Pettway OR my Brother in Law John Irizarry. The people at the window should help you resolve this issue. Your internet should not be cutting off every 30 minutes.
Also, before I left the company they started to restrict bandwidth for people who upload and download more than 100 megs a month. If you are one of those people ask to lift the ban and pay the extra 5 bucks a month. Your internet speed will increase to the UNDISCLOSED bandwidth range of 16 megs down, 2 megs up.
Also, you can ask for promotions while your there. I don't know any right now, but most of the promos are better, increases your service, and lowers your bill or keeps it at the same rate.
Thanks and have a nice day.
If I'm really restricted, I'm moving to Verizon.
No you have a bad modem or a bad ped. Both of which is Comcasts fault.
Well the modem is RCA. It just goes through ups and downs. Right now, it's a solid connection that won't drop and will let me do whatever online. Earlier today, it went offline for 45 minutes when I was trying to send out an e-mail.
Shit.
Can you remember or are you able to jot down when the modem drops? If it drops during peak hours(8am-10am, 3pm-5pm, and 7pm-11pm) ... someone is stealing your connection. If it drops randomly ... the splitter outside is bad, and the one on the pole is worse.
I know I am diagnosing your problem. But I used to do this.
My advice is to set up a service call. Its something that they will tell you they have to charge you. Which is wrong. They only charge you if its on your end. If they discover a bad splitter and a low connection due to it ... its on Comcast and they should not charge you the 19.98.
Also, if you go into a Customer Service center ... theres one right by you. They can give you a 25 dollar credit and wipe away the service charge.
And like I said ask for Raina Pettway or my brother in law John Irizarry. Both are in charge of the Customer Service offices in your area. Most of the time John is at that office anyway.
And to anyone who has Comcast. Even if you don't have HD. Ask for HD boxes. The black boxes that you have now .. are old and are causing more problems with the new upgrades they did. The HD boxes are brand new ... made by Panasonic and are twenty time better.
100MB? That's like... everyone?Quote:

Megabytes or that megabits shit that isps talk about so they seem faster than they really are?Quote:

edit: I'm on my sisters comp (my old one) and she has two HD TV's, five digital boxes, and two comps. And her speeds are 2.5 up/18 down.
If by internet things you mean ... posted on TNL while at work .. then yes I did.
If you mean internet things as my actual job ... no. I helped people with their bills and such.
Also: I did the speedtest and thats my speeds. 2 up and 16 down. My sisters 2.5 up and 18 down.
sign me up for this crazy party.Quote:

The only reason I'm trying to get you to be specific is because if this 2megaBYTES p/s upload speed exists through Comcast I'll get it. Because that shit is fast.
But it doesn't, according to the link you posted. But it does according to you.
I know it doesn't exist, and you just don't understand the difference between the two different ways of looking at the same thing, but I want you to prove me wrong.
So post a screencap. You do this by pushing "print screen" on your windows computer, then opening up MSpaint and pressing ctrl-V. Be sure to save as a jpg, so TNL won't display the file as a text link when you upload it.
I'm glad my ISP is still independent. We don't have Comcast available in my home area, as far as I know.
when I get back home I will. Since I am evicted at the moment.Quote:

Her bandwidth was limited. LOL. I just checked. They must have just put it on.
Shes down to 3down/1up. I'll have to tell her when she gets home. Its on Comcast end to release the bandwidth.
Three what? Megabits or megabytes?
One what? Megabits or megabytes?
Is it really, really so hard to understand what I am asking you? You have to be retarded. there is no other explanation.
For an asian he really sucks with numbers. :)
Seriously. Its actually making me angry.
I think I have a pet peeve about internet speeds, and people who trumpet their "sick speeds" when in reality they haven't divided by eight, and they're fucking stupid.
I smell bloodshed coming.
It is fucking megabits. Period. The end.
I hate math.Quote:

I know I'm not wrong, but I'm more than willing to admit when I am.
Now tell me what I already know.

How this guy worked at Comcast and doesn't get the difference between megabits and megabytes is fucking astounding to me.
I'm personally quite astounded.
*waits for Advocate's inevitable OMG I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!!*
I'm not going to say that Pineapple. I didn't know what Josh wanted. He asked for a pic and I said I can't. Then I tried to do one on my sisters and it showed it had a ban on her bandwidth. I then said Josh was not wrong. Meaning I was. But Josh wants me to come groveling back and admit something i never said he wasn't. My whole thing was trying to get the screen capture.
What the fuck.Quote:

You know I still love you, baby.
I still think the only answer needed was bits or bytes. Doesn't sound complicated to me.
But I'm a noob, so...
well Josh you're right, but my thing was I thought it was given as in bits. So, I thought at first you were joking (honestly). Then when you actually got mad ... I was like WTF? So, I went into TNL mode.
yeah yeah backpedal.
Anyway, fuck you pineapple and fuck you Tommy.
also: <3 pineapple and josh
I love how 'TNL mode' is synonymous with 'cocksucker'.
What a great group of guys :)
still love you.
also ... not really. I was backpedaling.
