Re: Comcasts position on this sounds pretty clear to me Perhaps what you should do is to just start shopping around for your own DS3..T3..or whatever it is you need to satisfy you.
It's nothing that a few thousand a month won't cure.
As for me, i'll just continue to think that up to 300gigs a month at speeds up to 20 to 30Mb for 42.95 month is one helluva good deal.
And, that not only comcast..but the industry as a whole has done a pretty good job..and in some cases..a very good job..at giving us all more over the years.
I mean..heck..it was just over 10 years or so ago that I was paying hundreds per month for a slow as molasses dialup connection. And, just 4 or 5 years ago that I was paying this same price for a 1500~2000k RR connection.
Now..I get up to 30Mb speeds with Comcast..for the same money.
But yet you suggest they're not doing all they can...and ripping us off.
Well man..I don't know what to tell you.
I just think that opinion is way out in left field somewhere..and has no real basis in reality when you look at the bigger picture.
Are there other providers who give more? Yep. A few.
But comcast is sure at the top of the list I think.
And there's lots of providers below them.
DSL is no value. In fact..speed for speed..its' downright expensive compared to comcast.
Why anyone would want that is way beyond me..when for literally 20 to 40 cents per day more..you can have the best that's out there.
We're just not talking about a lot of money difference.
Several hundred a few years ago was a lot.
today..whether it's 25 or 45.00 is really insignificant compared to that.
People should also understand that Comcast is a huge company. They can't just turn on a dime..and give everyone the absolute latest that's out there on a moments notice.
For their size though..I think they do a great job.
Even better than my old favorite ISP..time Warner.
FWIW..I do think that speed increases are coming in the not too distant future. As is docsis 3.0.
Until then, i'll just be happy with what I have.
Because it's pretty darn good I think.
