LOL, Who are they kidding? I can't even get the full 1.5mbps on my current plan. It's going to take some new lines in my area before it gets any faster. |

| Waiting on DSL
That's correct WAITING. I had DSL and spent more time waiting than surfing. My Comcast connection works much better than any DSL I've seen. Can't say much about the computer support from Comcast because I never need it. DSL - Digitally Slow Line. |

Re: November? Really?...
That is a big problem with DSL. They announce all these high speeds for their service, but a very large % of their customers can't reach even 1.5 mbps because of old poor wiring and because of distance from CO or DSLAM. Until the telcos(Verizon FIOS excepted) start upgrading their wire to the homes, this situation will remain. DSL - great promise, bad results.

| Not really excited about it I moved to a new apartment last year I could no longer get the extreme service which was 4megs down. They told me I was to far from the co and all I could get was basic dsl anyway we switched to charter and got there 3meg package so far so good. Charter is supposed to be rolling out a 5 meg package soon I'll be seriously taking a look at it when they do. By the way I'm located in Hoover alabama. |

said by gpancner :DSL - Digitally Slow Line. For you maybe. In my area, 3mbps DSL is faster and more reliable than 4mbps cable.

| I wonder...
I recieved a letter from Bellsouth the other day saying that I now qualified for the new Xtreme tier. It didnt specify any speeds though, so I am wondering if it is the old 3mbps tier. The whole reason I switched to Comcast was so I could get that 768kbps upload speed. Anyone have any idea what the upload for BS's 6mbps tier is supposed to be? I really miss my DSL and would like to switch back, this 6mbps that is actually 3mbps on average from Comcast is crap.

I've been calling once a day just to see what kind of answers I will get to the question of when Xtreme 6.0 will be available. It's also fun to see if you get someone on the phone from the US, India, or the Philippines, but anyway... Yesterday I got the most specific answer yet. She said "early November", but that I was welcome to call back and check again before that time.... India, in case you were wondering. |
