V. Barbarino Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 I looked at all the options. However comcast is not in my complex and dsl by verizon or bell south is a freaking rip off. They force you to have a land line. So we opted to sign up for the Lan in my complex. But I don't understand why you can't get adelphia to fix their shit..usualy what happens is in apts the lines are so crossed, that sometimes, just hook up your pc without the modem and it works..

Guest LdySphynx Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 That's why I love my Comcast, even thought that half of their Techs don't know what the hell they are doing......but still they are cheap as hell and very good internet service!!!

Artemis1414777738 Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 CrzyC,The guy who designed and runs the entire cable modem network for Miami Beach (South Point to Aventura), is a umm, "good friend of mine" :-X . Let me know the particulars of the problem and maybe he can give some advice or knows some of the Adelphia techs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest slamminshaun Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 I have BellSouth Fast Access. Despite two direct hits from hurricanes, my Internet always worked (well, when I had power restored it was up and running both times). I have NEVER had a service interruption, or have had issues with the service working too slow. My friends who had Adelphia on the other hand, had service interruption for weeks in September!! Despite this, they had to pay for the full month of service, even though their shit was down for 80% of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrzyC1414779017 Posted November 22 Author Report Share Posted November 22 Thanks for the info guys. I decided to go with Bellsouth DSL as it is the cheapest way to go for me. Now, its time to call Adelphia, tell them I have a new privider and see if they are willing to dance. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest swirlundergrounder Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 It depends on how the infrastructure is in your area with regards to DSL or Cable. When I lived in Seattle I used Cable. The infrastructure was good in my area so it was 5 to 6 times as fast as DSL is. So when I moved here I wanted Cable but it was not available in my area so I got DSL. When I moved to my new place a year later cable was now availavble so I got that. But the infrastuture in my area was new so in my experinece cable was a little slower and it go's down more than DSL. If your area has had a strong Cable infrastructure for a while I would go with Cable because with an area with strong cable infrastructure, cable is more stable than DSL. If cable is new to your area go with DSL.... DSL also doesn't suffer from area clog because it operates on a broadband. So for instance if you have lets say a neighborhood with 50 houses and 25 of then have cable, if all 25 homes are online it will slow down your connection. DSL doesn't have this problem. But if the phone go's out so does your DSL. DSL is more affected by wheather than Cable is. But then again this all depends on how well the infrastructure is in you area for either Cable or DSL. Since DSL has been in the South FLorida area longer than Cable I would get DSL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest swirlundergrounder Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 Also another thing to consider, Comcast has better customer service than Bellsouth in my experience.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrzyC1414779017 Posted November 24 Author Report Share Posted November 24 I told Adelphia I had already made the appointment to switch to Bellsouth and had told my building to do the same and ....WHAMO!!! I have my Adelphia Internet again!!! LMAO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slamminshaun Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 I told Adelphia I had already made the appointment to switch to Bellsouth and had told my building to do the same and ....WHAMO!!! I have my Adelphia Internet again!!! LMAO!!!What I never understood about that is, why does it need to get to that point before you're considered a "valuable customer"??
