Re: I haunt COMCAST forums now!

I'm thrilled you made the switch redstepchild!

Even though we sometimes sway off topic, and bash each other around a bit, the BBR Comcast Forum is generally a fun and friendly place.

If you're in need of help: it's a great place to start.

If you like to help: you'll never be bored.

C'mon over everyone!

HAHA, yeah I guess I should have went out and started fixing their routers myself, what was I thinking. Come on, seriously, I hope you don't think that all the problems here can be easily fixed on their own by the customers. If you do, fill me in on how to fix my upstream problem, I'm all ears.

2003-02-22 12:15:33 EST: 1726 / 11
Your download speed : 1726666 bps, or 1726 kbps.
A 210.7 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 11866 bps, or 11 kbps.
Your upstream result was very slow! .. not good
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

Re: I haunt COMCAST forums now!

You're doing that P2P/FileSharing thang ... right?!? That will drain your upstream! Is there spyware in your box? Post some: pings, tracerts ... more info please.

We here on the former ATTBI side need to stick together. Comcast's biological kids are snobs and/or clueless:(

!!! Ouch r0bErT4u !!!

Most Comcast subscribers have been assimilated transitioned from @home, or MediaOne, or somewhere else. We're all adopted orphans.

I think your accusation of snobbery and cluelessness is flat-out wrong!

Re: I haunt COMCAST forums now!

My bad. Let me clarify. Comcast's biological kids on the East Coast mostly are snobs and/or clueless, not all. They get the DCT5100 firmware/software updates months in advance. They have more HDTV channels. They were able to see the Superbowl in HDTV. They're getting the DCT5100s with DVI port installed & enabled. We're being forced to switch our e-mail addy for the 3rd or 4th time. If our username is taken, we need to pick a new one. We can't even reserve it ahead of time. HQ moved to East Coast from Denver. The local office in Everett, WA is seeing a major change in staff. ... the list goes on :o:(:o

Forgive me, but I'm not happy with the recent changes & level of service that coincided with the name change to Comcast. To make matters worse, the SLOWNESS IN MY CORNER OF THE INTERNET has not been resolved.

Re: I haunt COMCAST forums now!

r0bErT4u, my performance took quite a hit during transition too. Jan 22, 2002, my transition day from @home to CHSI, is a date I won't easily forget - it changed my life. I'm a full-time telecommuter who relies *cough cough* on Comcast's network, as I have no other choice for broadband. (I was even turned down for a T1 line AFTER signing a binding contract with Megapath). Comcast has me right where they want me: by the ballz short 'n curlies.

So, no need to ask for forgiveness - I can understand your dissatisfaction and frustration. But I disagree that JUST the former ATTBI subscribers need to stick together. We're all in the same boat, we just arrived at different times.

IMO, there is no "them", there's only "us".

not since I ran 98, and speeds were always good on xp until November.

November

Surfing is fine, downloading is fine, just cant send files or play online games during the evening when my upstream is usually in the teens.

before and after what?

no idea about the levels, I cant check, rca modem.

And I'll say it again for about the 30th time, my speeds are good in the early morning and get worse as the day goes on, now if that's my problem I think someone put a curse on my modem then.

I did read that long @$$ thread, but that's not/or only part of the information I requested. You're just repeating the same stuff. I don't work for any cable company, and am just trying to help *sheesh!*

I'm aware of that, I was just answering the questions to humor myself, I already know there is nothing anyone can do to fix it, hell the last three times I tried to report the problem to Attbi they refused to even open a ticket. So my only hope is when everything is finally switched over to Comcast, maybe it will just fix itself, that seems to be my only hope.

Let's not put the carriage ahead of the horse. i remember the @home debacle and not having service for a bit. Hopefully the transition will go smoothly and the renaming will as well. But hell that ain't much of a hope bud.

Me too. Time to change the Favorites lineup and move over to the latest morph of what used to be @home.

By the way no contact yet from the new Comcast regime, but maybe that's because I never used my @attbi address. ISP email addresses are just too ephemeral to bother with. I figure if they have anything important to say they'll send it with my bill.

Hi Red ... No need to be sorry. I miss u ;o)

Once in a while, I try to troubleshoot a follow members problem ... only to get bitched at *sheesh*

I have a new respect for customer support.

I get a feeling information is being withheld

Comcast probably has the letter on it's way ... You must delete all your ill gotten P2P/filesharing gains. Your SERVER is in violation of the loosely enforced AUP & TOS, so shame shame shame.
