I to have had the same problems with the service rep's it seems when you are more informed about what is going on and you try to let them know what really is the problem they don't want to hear about it. The next time ask for one of their engineer's not that's going to help either but its better to talk with some one other than the first line of their help center just keep asking for there superior until you get some one that knows what their job is all about

Re: Comcast.net

I also have had the same problems since the upgrade. I attain decent speeds for an hour here and there. Then all of sudden the download speed will go to 300K for hours at a time. The lowest speed I have seen is 33K.
My upload speed is always okay.

I have tier 2 service and I was always getting 4M until the upgrade. I called Comacst service last night and spoke to a nice service rep, but he just didn't get it that their upgrade was to blame. He said "it sounded like a signal issue" and wanted to send a technician out to check the wiring. I told the rep I did not agree, but agreed to schedule a service call. I cancelled the call a few hours later as I checked my inside wiring, replaced a few bad RG-6 connectors and checked the speed. I was getting 4-5M. I awake this morning to find speeds of around 600K. My point is, due to the fluctiuating speeds, I truly believe this is a Comacast network problem due to the upgrade. Don't let them try to convince you that it is anything else. Those of us who are having this issue, need to keep some pressure on Comcast, so they:
A. Admit they have a problem.
B. Fix it.

All ISPs and telephone companies should follow Vonage and post network issues in plain site on their website. The few times I have had issues with Vonage I have gone to their website and the issue was listed as a known issue and their engineers were working on it. Saves them and me a phone call. That's what I call good service.

Re: Comcast.net

yeah, good idea! irritate the underpaid overstressed rep who is just trying to inform you of what is happening. If you had any idea how it goes down, you would be amazed that people still answer the phone at an isp. The human spirit can only take so much battering. SO, go ahead, ask for an engineer, see how fast the rep hangs up on you. bwhahahahaa

I have a hard time believing that a tech support person used that harsh language.

Re: Comcast.net

Yeah, I had a hard time believing that I was hearing it. Especially since I thought calls were recorded? I reported the tech's name & number to Comcast. Haven't heard what the outcome of that was.

I can understand that he was frustrated - I guess a LOT of people had been calling in with the same problem... but you know what? If a lot of people are calling about a problem, maybe it really is a legitimate issue. As it turns out, there was a problem and Comcast did eventually acknowledge it was on their end. Comcast support rep.'s shouldn't be so quick to berate customers, as sometimes the customer is actually right.

Re: Comcast.net

You know, as an actual employee of Comcast(7yrs,(System Maint Tech) I see MANY of issues all the time, whether it's at a customers dwelling or an assumed problem with the plant. This I can tell you, when I do hear of customers berating CSR's or vises versa, it never solves the actual problem but only causes more miscommunication and speculation of both parties. The main thing is to be patient and keep a open mind to the problem, cause who knows, it's usually something always simple even though it may seem complicated.

It seems the term "Cant Please Everyone All The Time" For what I pay for my internet connection that Comcast say's that they can provide as a "Internet Service Provider" And what is not being provided by Comcast, Which is a constant stable advertised Broadband Speed, "Gee I Have The Right as a Consumer To Voice my Opinion About their Internet Service Personal, Being Nice Does'nt get a Damm Thing Fixed, Sending a Line Tech Whom have been sent to my Home giving me the same answer theres nothing wrong does'nt serve anyone concern's. So Comcast Needs to Step Up and face the Music,
