Holy shit yeah. I am with Comcast as well. This has to be the worst cable service on the planet. I used to be with @Home, but but they went tits up here and Comcast took over. Ever since the "transition" its been hell.Comment

if you're talking about their wireless/satalite internet access its really really bad. for just straight downloads its reasonably fast (like 50KB/s) but the latency is horrible. using the web is very difficult, telnet/ssh sessions are impossible. total latency with satalite access is over 1500ms.Originally posted by nocostporn

I looked into getting a HU loader and shit, but getting those codes you need after they nuke your shit with an ecs seems like a real pain in the ass.Originally posted by Pipecrew

Just use an old H card and run it through an emulator. They haven't taken those out yet to my knowledge. I actually sold some bootstraps to a guy after that black sunday ecm they did about a year and a half ago and his cards are still working without an emulator.Originally posted by [Labret]

On the broadband side of this conversation look for non-line-of-site wireless services to be rolled out in the next year with 10mbps for about the same as cable/dslComment

i use directtv
formerly telocity
it kicks ass,
i havent lost synch, sometimes shit happens but thats with anyone.
there support sucks, you probably know more than there techs
the speed actually depends on what their contract with the phone company is.
mine is 850 down and 160 up
plus you get a static i.p and they can also setup dns if you run a webserver off your computer.
i would reccomend them

I used to live in @Home territory, and vowed I would never go back to dial-up, then after the transition, I saw how much Comcast sucked ass, ever since that December 27th switch over, and it was bad enough, since that day I was down for 24 hours.
They fucked up in February and rolled out null configs to most of the modems in the area I was living in at the time, days, weeks, MONTHS went by without service visits that I requested, so about week 2 of my outage I went out and got a wholesale dialup deal with a ISP that I share with my parents and friends now.
Nationwide access at $10/mo, can't beat that on the road, nor at home when you have 'speed withdrawal' and 2 idle phone lines.
Anyways, the only decent cable IP provider I've seen is Optimum Online, other than that, everyone else sucks, well, Time Warner/Road Runner/AOL/ConglomoCo sucks less, but doesn't top OO.
Oh, and the next company to send me a flyer saying "DSL maybe available in your area" better be damn fucking sure I can get DSL before sending me a flyer, I don't want to sit on the phone for 30 minutes for you just to tell me that DSL access isn't available in my area, "oh, we just mailed all the customers in XYZ metro area".
But now that I'm in Arizona, we'll see how things work out.

if youre talking about the dsl service, they have to go through the same hoops as any other dsl company, getting all of the stuff setup through your local telco. (ie uswest, pacbell, ameritech, whoever). since you have to go through your telco anyway, you should call them and check their dsl services and prices, they may end up beating what directv offers you.Comment

I have Road Runner and like it alot...
Just had one problem with it...
was down for most of one day...
other wise I like it a lot better that Pac Bell DSL
which I had when I was in thew Bay Area...
This Cable is quit abit faster than the DSL I
had.... the DSL was a static IP...
So the person that said Road Runner sucks,,,,
must be the area your in... because I think it Rocks
