nice, glad it worked out for you.

You know it's like 1 step forward 2 steps back, I'm basically a month in with this new service and I'm ****ing frustrated. My last service/modem was for basically 300 down, I always got that speed consistently, no drops always worked no issue.

Now with this one my speeds are all over the ****ing place, it drops, my speeds are shit, I have a printer that is online then off then on then off, I'm pissed.

Cable internet is terrible. You are sharing bandwidth with all your neighbors. So when everyone is on, you won't be able to get anywhere near the advertised speeds.

The small print admits to all that, so you have no real recourse.

Why is a gigabit modem/router giving me worse speeds than a 300mbps one?

It's possible it's not the right kind of modem for your cable signal. They're supposed to be backwards compatible but they aren't always foolproof.

Have them replace your cable modem for starters.

It's been replaced once....

I'm not super knowledgeable about modems but it's this...

If you know anything about it that would be great.

I hope you are not so stupid to think that a simple waterproof connection not being waterproof couldn't be the problem. You are responsible for inside your house and Comcast will test it up to that point for free.

You should log the time and dates when you are not getting acceptable service to be taken seriously.

PS Buy the gig service

What was that babble about? Good God man.

As to service, if you could read and comprehend, you would see above that I have ATT's gigabit fiber service. Get the advertised speeds, have no issues as I always did with cable with slowdowns, and am paying just $60/month all fees included.

BTW, I did let Cox, who is the cable ripoff provider in my city, know times and speeds to no avail. They just pointed to the fine print.

Cable internet SUCKS. Unless your provider is using fiber.

Interesting. I'm not having that problem. At all. Now I wonder why.

Could be that it isn't configured correctly.

Are you hard wired, or on wireless?

Yeah, I noticed that he said he has a printer that keeps disconnecting. Is the printer wireless or wired?

If your modem has a built in wireless router, turn it off. They're generally junk. Have Comcast configure for modem/bridge mode and get your own router. That would be one other general piece of advice I could offer before getting more specific.

I use both but yea it's the all in one, the thing about the printer is, it's wireless and it connects to one computer fine yet the other one no, even though it worked yesterday.

The way the entire thing works is entirely annoying.

I've seen that issue before with Netgear wireless routers. Do you have any special characters in your SSID or preshared key (assuming you're using WPA2-PSK)?
