Re: [Connectivity] Broward County/Wilma-affected a
Yep, I have that problem now I think, where I can download (some) things at 200k/s but getting the page to actually come up is a challenge because it's constantly timing out when the browser is requesting something.
Uploading is a chode, I can't connect to my FTP server or send e-mail.
I had the Cingular data package for 25mb for 35/mo, and I used that up from the hurricane until my connection "came back" on the 16th, just in time too, only $0.37 in overages. WHEW! But even the Cingular crappy 1.8k/s connection was more reliable than this, and in some cases, even faster. 
Good luck with your appointment, I hope they don't just throw a limiter on there and say that'll fix it, because chances are, that fix won't last long.
Oh! And make sure you call Comcast's billing department and let them know that you have unusable service and you won't be paying for it. They only credited me till November 7th, like a week and a half before I actually got my service back. Probably when it connected for a minute or two then went back off, those buggers. Make sure you get at least an entire month free. |
