6. How's this?
:nopity:

Okay, sorry, not trying to be snotty. You have my sympathy because as I said above, I have to have connection to The Internets since I work from home.

4. I have Comcast.
for both cable and internet. Occasionally it goes out (not often though), and when it does, even if only for an hour or so, they credit me a full day of service for the inconvenience. It's really a pisser for me when it goes out, as I work from home and need the internet.

7. I've had them for a couple of years and drops outs are rare.
There's a way to poll your modem (sorry I don't know how) to see what the power level is. Maybe that's it. The only thing I get is an occasional assignment to a bad IP address, so I then have to power the modem off for a few minutes.

I don't like comcast and the price is high, but I'm hooked until we get dsl fiber on the block.

8. I just got them after having Roadrunner for several years (moved)
and before that, I had Qwest DSL for several years before that. I haven't noticed too much difference with Comcast. All big media/communications monopolies suck ass, but what can you do?

9. I have them and don't have very much trouble.
It's way better than when I had Qwest DSL - that was a POS service.

Call and complain, and then keep calling and complaining. Good luck.

12. They've already replaced my modem once.
Service is better but it's not great, especially considering the price.
