Yea.. plenty of capacity... as long as they can continue to fool their customers into thinking they are actually getting 20mbps+ every single second of every single day! |

| Bandwidth is crunched
all i know is in my area its a 750 plant and there pusing it far beyond that point. all our amps are only at 750 and there running them around 780-790 siganls drop hard and they consistantly add hd channels trying to keep up with dish, but in doing so we have many compression issues that no one seams to know how to fix. micro blocking and tiling that still has color in them with smugdes then the picture changes and its gone form not enough BANDWIDTH in that 256 qam channel cause theres to many channels in it and there rate shaping, and thats only in our digi line up. must be talking about 860 systems or he has no i idea whats really going on with his company. |

| Well powerboost does make more peak bandwidth avaible thearetically, rather than have a bunch of users slowly suck bandwidth and degrade the node, powerboost gives slices/bursts, making it seem to the end user like its much faster and getting rid of that user's request quicker. |

Re: Bring me bandwidth!
sorry dude, no new "products" (like increased b/w?) for a while:
"Frankly, we have plenty of capacity right now, and we will have plenty of capacity, in our opinion, for the next six to 12 months, given the available products," Roberts said.
sure sounds like "no speed upgrades" to me. |

@comcast.net | Garbage Service
plenty of capacity ? So why was i only getting 1000-2000 kbps down during peak hours? I dumped Comcrap because there full of s***. COMCAST is the worst broadband service i've ever had |

Comcast is trash if there is an alternative to broadband in you're area get it you wont regret it . there speeds are lame you definitely wont be getting there advertised speed 24/7 its horrible during the day and only fast at like 3:00am - 10:00am. Also dadkins needs to just get over his crappy comcast hsi everyone knows comcast is trash so stop trying to advertise for them |

Id love to see a frequency allocation chart for your area. I bet youd love to see one to. I cant believe whatever area you are in has their head that far up their ass. ( Im sure others can.. but it wouldnt happen)

| Keep on lying
What a liar.
From another former Comcast customer:
These retards disconnected me also. I've start a blog and have been thinking of building a satire of the experience for publication on youtube.
My wife and I are trying to get them back as they are the ONLY show in town. I plan on making that a thing of the past. We're going to City Council meetings and will be pushing utopianet.org to our area plus I'm looking at wireless internet.
Oh and our new blog is at »comcastissue.blogspot.com
People have no clue how pathetic Comcast customer service is. We've even spoke with Bill Gephart about this. One of his reporters is currently going through the Comcast mire to figure out what's going on. I feel bad for inflicting this on him but I'm hoping to get the word out.
Like you I'm a heavy user. Been accused of many nefarious things. What's sad is people don't realize there are many legit reasons for running bittorrent and other download services. Most respectable services these days provide p2p for downloading products.
I wish I could go with Verizion Fios or some other service. You are fortunate to have an alternative. Heck, even Clark Howard said I should fire Comcast and provided me a couple of links to articles he's written about them. Not his favorite provider I guess.
Anyway... check out the blog and if you read slashdot.org you might see my article out there also. I'm hoping the editors approve it. |

Re: everyone knows Comcast is trash
You're so right!
I should dump my solid 8/768 service for my 1.2 DSL line.. my DSL line that goes off line almost every other day. ALL because you have bad last mile service.
The moral is that not everyone's experience is the same.. so to say that Comcast is trash because YOU don't get your speeds 24/7 is ridiculous.
As for Dadkins's so-called "crappy comcast hsi".. I'll leave you for him. I'm sure he can have fun alone.
Must be sad to be bitter all the time,.. it's very much an illness around these parts to be butt hurt.
One last question though... if you are up during the day to know of bad speeds, how do you know the speeds between 3am and 10am? How do you stay up at all hours on the day? you on drugs?
