[dba-Tech] Comcast usage with no internet

[John R Bartow]

I don't have any customers using Comcast. I have Charter Cable, Time Warner
Cable, AT&T Uverse and a multitude of smaller DSL and lesser internet
providers I have to work with. They all suck at one point but for the most
part its cyclical suckiness. Nature of the beast. They are in a constant
cycle of upgrading and they can't upgrade everyone at once.

I am a Comcast customer and have no problem with them at all.  50 MB down
and 13 Mb up just now when I tested. Have had nothing but good service and
reliability.  We have DSL competition here for internet and of course
several Satalite carriers for TV.  Most of the USA has multiple carriers to
choose from for Internet and TV service now.

agreements been terrible, it seems they have been scamming their customers
as well. Finally, Washington state is invoking a class-action suit against
Comcast: http://bit.ly/2aRohHm . What a scummy company.

the internet, the new app Localcast, is for you.
