Comcast: Makes me wanna go back to dial-up
Comcast. Yes, the ISP that everyone is complaining about. As a Comcast user myself, I can def understand as to why.

If you google: comcast is shit, You'll get some pretty good results, more against Comcast than in defence.
My connection has been utterly shite after about a month of having their Broadband. When I use Skype, my connection drops. If I am on Second Life for too long, connection drops. If I am listening to Raphsody, which as a Comcast subcriber is free to use, connection is dropped. Now, it's gotten to the point to where I am having trouble staying connected to Google. Speaking of which, I just found a site:

It's gotten to the point where I am 'scared' to use any of my messenging programs, for fear of that blasted green blinking light, when no others are lit up.
I had contacted Comcast about this problem, via over their 'Chat Live' service. I told the rep, 'I have to hurry and explain everything to you now, because the connection will drop' And right when I pressed the enter key, yes it dropped.
I called and their answer, which is always 'the answer' they most often give is: 'We can send a tech out.'
What are they going to do? There is nothing wrong at my end, my wires are fine.
It's you, Comcast. You refuse to give into the net neturality idea. You just want to censor and 'rule' the Internet.
As Subscribers, we pay for a service, so we demand the services in which we signed up for. Bandwidth limit? You say there isn't one, but really, aprntly, there is... though it's 'classified'.
Whoever is the sulking evil behind Comcast, must be a sadist, because having Comcast as an ISP is absolutely torture!
I am going back to Knology. Knology may be just a tid bit slower than Comcast, but honestly, I'd rather have a reliable service than a service that is more 'moodier' than me.
You fooking plonkers!
Anyway, I found this poem about Comcast and I thought it was entertaining:
