Re: You don't say!
My (Now Comcast) data connection went down on Tuesday, Apr. 22nd. (80 degrees and sunny BTW.) I have been on the phone three times with Tech Support. Each time there is always some minor glitch....Modem not registered, last tech forgot a number, blah blah, but never a solution.
I went to purchase a new modem and lo' and behold, there is not a single cable modem in the Rockford area at any of the major retailers. (BB,CC,Office Depot, Office Max). Turns out that many a Rockfordian is having cable modem issues. Hmmmmm.
I suppose that the the house call, scheduled 7 days later, will find the problem will be internal customer equipment, so I get to fork out an additional $45 for the service call AND buy a new modem.
Congrats on the skyscraper, Comcast.
This blows. |

2 edits | Get a SB5120 @ newegg.com Its cheap & works pretty well for here. If only Comcast can keep their network straight & knock the compression crap off. It would all be fairly sweet.
BTW i have had a tech out here once..just to placate the Comcast reps...no charges.

1 edit | Yeah, but the analog signals take up so much more space than the higher quality digital QAMS(+they can fit more channels into a single QAM). |
