Re: limited newsgroup usage

I have Cable Internet and there are a lot of people in my area that do. I have No problimes with Comcast. It is faster that Qwest's DSL Service. It also helped when AT&T Broadband upgraded our area, they put power boosters in when they first started with the upgrade to help with the problem.

Re: limited newsgroup usage

What part of "it varies" am I not clearly communicating? No matter how many people report that it works great for them (or not), the fact remains that cable is a crap shoot. Thank you for proving my point. Nowhere did I say it was bad in all areas. And in heavily populated areas, some of the local cable companies go the extra mile (no pun intended) to "split nodes" or mitigate congestion. But many areas (mine notoriously) do not. Sucks for me, but luckily I have DSL available. Some in my area aren't so lucky.

Re: limited newsgroup usage

I know that in my area Cable is less of a crap shoot than DSL.

Verizon DSL in Danvers is notorious for their lack of uptime and constant crap pings.

With comcast I get stable pings and stable speeds, as does all my friends that live throughout the town.

My only issue was when Comcast upgraded to QAM 256 from QAM 64 and I had to throw a splitter on my line to stabilize the signal levels.
