| Re: Comcast is a joke! Drop em and get real service! That wireless service sounds pretty good, too bad I live too far to get it. I'm in Vineland. As for the guy above I don't think he has any choices other than Comcast and Verizon. He's in Mullica Hill which I believe is more than 6 miles from Audobon and Cherry Hill.

| Stuck with these f**ks I agree with you guys. I want to drop Comcast more than anything. Ever since the switch from @Home, I've had more problems than I can count. Unfortunately, I'm in an area dominated by Comcast. The only alternative is Bellsouth FastAccess DSL and I'm too far from the CO to even consider that. And going back to 56k is NOT an option, so like I said, looks like I'm stuck with these f**ks. We need some competition here in Middle Tennessee because Comcast has taken over almost everyone in the area. You can only put up with these people for so long. | |

| Re: How did you fix your router????? got this off linksys' knoweledge base:
Connecting your cable modem to the Router
1. First connect directly to your Cable modem without the router and verify that you can get on line.
2. Once you've verified that you can get onto the internet without the router please proceed. If you can not please contact your ISP for further assistance.
3. Now unplug the Ethernet cable that connects to your cable modem from the back of your computer.
4. Take the connection that you just unplugged from the back of your computer and connect it to the WAN port of the router.
5. Take a different Ethernet cable and plug it into port closest to the WAN port, or into the LAN port.
6. Look on the front of the router. The following lights should be illuminated:
- Power
- WAN Link
- Link/Act (On the port that you connected your computer to)
- Note If other lights other than Link/Act are illuminated on this port, that is normal
- You may have a few other lights illuminated depending on the model number router you have, but the 3 above must be illuminated for proper connection.
7. Hold the Reset button on the router for 30 seconds or more
8. Restart your computer

| OOL OOL is no longer the greatest (they're just another ISP) you might think they're great until you consider their crappy news service(capped at 1.5mbps+2connection max and horrid retention), email servers that go up and down more than a yo-yo, newest on the plate is your upload gets capped to 150kbps (less than comcast/attbi's rate of 256kbps) | |
