| Metrocast Is PAINFULLY Slow Lately I am a New Hampshire customer at my residence who has also been experiencing a major shortage in bandwidth.
I talked to tech support and we did many a trace route and it appears that the problem is beyond Metrocast's immediate control. The top suspects are Road Runner and Verizion. A few of their routers appear to be overloaded and not reporting.
I am getting 200-800kbps downstream from 6pm to midnight which is really disappointing for $70 a month. (par 10m/1m)  | |

i upgraded from digital to High Definition at extra cost. my choice was to not include "DVR" receiver(the one you can record) with just the regular HD receiver i was saving $5 month. that unit lasted 1 week. went to metrocast to replace unit, 2nd unit lasted 3 days; a company tech came to my home to check my cable/wiring/box. he replaced the box with a "DVR" unit. this one lasted 3 weeks. the tech and the receptionist both told me that the company had "system" problems and that this was causing the units to ZAP out. so today i am driving once more to the company to replace the unit AGAIN. All at a cost of 120.00 month(including ISP) as for their internet service, i download at 6800 kbps and upload at 484 kbps. i have no complaint there at all!!!. let's see how they do with this cable box issue! METROCAST is the provider | |

| Metrocast.... I've been having trouble with Metrocast since I switched to them. If I had any other option I would switch providers, tho I must admit DIAL-UP is starting to look good speed wise compared with them. 70 bucks a month for garbage unreliable internet service with download speeds in the 200kbps area when it should be 10mb. Real top-notch ISP and all customer support does is insist you need to restart your modem, like that ever helps. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone EVER. | |
