I'm going to stab Comcast in the face...

They are literally the worst ****ing ISP...

So Comcast how will you handle what is going on...well you see we will make 3 months of our service not have a data cap..ok even though data caps are complete bullshit, fine. But when we bring them back in July...we're going to take away 1 of your courtesy months without telling you because we think adding 200 gigs to your cap is sufficient...

Also we are going to take that other courtesy month because June is going to count when we calculate data even though we said it wouldn't count...

Is there a worse company out there than this, their customer service motto should be, bend over and take it.

I have AT&T, and they suck, but I've had such bad experiences with Comcast in the past that I simply refuse to ever use them again.

I have a feeling that by the time there's fiber available in my area, I'll have long moved by then.
My happiest day (ISP wise) was when I canceled Cox after getting ATT fiber. Gigabit speeds and haven't had an outage in the nearly a year that we've had them.

Never any slow downs either.

I've had Cox for probably 20 years, only this year has there been a problem with regular outages. I get it, the pandemic has put demands on the providers like never before. Hoping if anything like this year happens again the lesson was learned how to keep people online.

From my understanding, the existing internet nodes were not created to handle everyone in a specific area to be on the internet at the same exact time.

For example, we have 4 people at home using the internet everyday from 7am to 10pm, whereas normally, it's just one person most of the day.

Multiply that by hundreds of people in the same neighborhood and it causes outages. The only way to correct these outages is for the internet providers to build brand new nodes that can handle higher levels of traffic but that's a huge, costly expense.

Its crazy that I have gigabyte fiber internet in the Ozarks and you don't in LA.

The internet and its providers were not ready for a pandemic
