Re: "Beats" Comcast ... ???
Hunt around network monitoring sites, Comcast's network is lossy, it's the very nature of transporting over coax cable via RF. It simply is inferior and its theoretical limits are well below Fiber optics. Fiber can easily scale to 100 MB +, not so for coax/RF.
The splitters and runs your neighbors put in their house can affect the transmit levels to your house, sorry that's just not acceptable to me. I lived many months with that frustration before I went to DSL then to FiOS. My DSL experience was much better than Comcast at half the speed, but I do a lot of VPN stuff and packet loss can kill it. |
