[LUNA] Anyone in HSV using Comcast ....

[Bob Nance]

I have had Comcast Internet since they offered service in our area. It has been more than 10 years. I have it at work, too. 

Very, very few issues. Speed is consistently over what I am paying for. The home ckt is 27/7 and the work one is 50/10. Other than them reprogramming the work one to 25/5 twice, the service has been nearly flawless. I pay for Comcast business in both places, too. Four-hour response times and onsite guarantees. The home service people are nice, but not prompt. Four days is more the trend. 

Overall, I like the service and speed. I recommend them to my clients, family and friends!

After moving into our home in 2004 I went through 3 cable modems in 2 years. Tech said the signal was too hot and had to put a filter on it to keep from burning the modem out. Not sure if related,  but the speed at that time was faster than advertised. Now it's ok. Speed test says its fast but at times seems congested. Just ran a test at 10.5Mbps / 7.7Mbps.
