V. Barbarino Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 read hereDTV is by far the best for TV, but I have to use Comcast, who I freaking hate, so if the speeds are comparable then it's on, good bye comcast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slide On The Ice Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Comcast's customer service is lousy, and their tech support is inadequate. I laughed the time my cousin, who has a lot of experience with networking computers, had to school the tech guy on how to set something up on my system from his end. Good luck on your choice.

Guest ICON Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 dont even get me started on Comcast.My entire building was without cable AND internet for 5 fucking days... everybody was trying to call them and was just put on hold for hours.Their on demand sucks.. they dont update it enoughtheir cable freezes up for 30 minutes at a time and you cant turn the fucking box off... sure i can unplug it but i dont have the time or energy to pull my entertainmnt center out and unplug it.Point blank.. they fucking suck.

Guest GoodLife Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 For years I have had trouble with Comcast, worst company and worst customer service. If I saw the owner of Comcasts black Enzo i'd piss on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 It sucks because outside of provisioning a T-carrier level service, your choices are pretty much limited to pokey DSL and Comcast in South Florida. Though I am seeing more and more buildings both old and new just saying 'screw it', running a T3 or two to the premises, and just doing Wi-Fi and Ethernet in the buildings. It's been a common thing in other areas of the country, but is the new deal in South Florida, since we're about 3 years behind in telecom.

Guest pod Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 T3 is nothing sir. Well, for an average condo building here in SFL, a T3 would be a dream. Again, we're a bit behind down here. I'd say run fiber, but I don't know of any developer that would think that far ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pod Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 Hopefully they'll do it right, i.e. like an office building and not a hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest swirlundergrounder Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 I have been through 6 Comcast DVR's in 9 months! And I don't watch that much TV.. Those DVRs are pieces of shit. Luckily I live a few block from a Comcast office and if the thing even has a glitch I exchange it for another one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
