Re: Davis, CA having problems?
I also signed up in August (in Davis) and had great speeds.
For the last week or so I've noticed things getting slower and slower.
This morning speed bounced up to ~2800 a couple of times, but has generally stayed well below 400.
I've spoken with Comcast support, the local office, and 2 techs.
I've been told that somebody is sapping bandwidth, that the influx of students has put an unexpected strain on their new system, and from both techs and phone support that "engineering is working on it" but doesn't expect resolution until next thursday.
I was also given the impression that by the techs that if I scream loud enough they will credit me back some money.
As I have an IP phone that is now essentially worthless, I plan on screaming. | |

Well yea. We have alot homework to download you know. 
you have University there & bunch of students are EATING up the bandwidth, Comcast is going to change couple of things
I think many of us switched to comcast with the promise of more bandwidth. This little fiasco is already putting out a lot of bad press about comcast cable.  I think it is kind of ridiculous that when they moved here, they did not figure into their equation that students have alot of homework to download.  .
If comcast is not going to be faster than dsl, as promised in the many ads I get in my mail box, at least make it work at normal speed instead of giving me hiccups. | |
