| [Cool!] Comcast & AT&T Merged. Yay! SPEED IMPROVED
After nearly a disapointed year with AT&T broadband I'd still have to stick with them simply they are the only cable ISP in town here (Richmond). I miss those days back in PHilly where I can much choose tons of ISPs to use.
Anyway, At&T was a piece of shit no more no less. I was never happy with the shitty speed they gave me comparing to a pricy value I have to pay for it. LOL
But recently after the merge, good lord the speed has improved tremendously. I mean I was dreaming a year ago that I would only get 100kb/sec download I'll be happy as hell. But now I get 200-250kb/sec download, upload steady at 35kb/sec and there are lots of time it goes up to 4-65kb/sec for some reason. I'm extremely happy with the merge and all the great works that Comcast has done so far to AT&T lousy services.
Even they raised the price to 58 bucks now but I got FREE cable TV services from the Cable men. What the hell lol, still very cheap for me.
Today, my Verizon DDSL installed...i'm gonna give it a try but I dont think I'll make any switch cuz Verizon is slower than my cable -) but free 30 days trial aint gonna kill nobody. More Bandwidth to D/L and test out.
Yay!
Go comcast, go comcast, go comcast.
