Comcast

do you mean the wires like running to my house? because i think they just jacked into my old stuff since i was a customer before and everything

well the guy i had went up the pole and seemed to be doing stuff up there and then came back into my house and he didnt do anything with the cables i had, just told me to put em in the modem and the cable boxes

Most of them do. From what I've seen those coax heads are the most resilient of them all.

They can be submerged in water, rusted over 70% of the way etc and still transmit data well over the cable line caps as opposed to other types of physical connectors. Usually a coax head isn't the culprit.

i havent R0'd or lost connection since i posted, maybe im getting lucky and i wont have problems until they do a maintenance or whatever they do? lol

Comcast sux.

I'm gonna have to agree with prince on this, it's deffinetly just something wrong in general and nothing to do with stuff at our house.

i agree because since i first got them back i wanted to smash the modem

now im about ready to go to the nearest comcast office and throw the modem at an employee and then tie them to an office chair and push them into traffic

does comcast still cap dload limits?

wat u mean?

like you can only dload X amounts of data in a months time

They have a logical cap. If you reach above 250GB for a few months in a row, they'll send you a letter about it.

They do implement traffic shaping.

But as far as a hard cap, no.

oh im not sure about that. i never heard anything of it

I think with charter it's unmonitored more so...but i'm sure if you were dloading 24/7 you'de get the same letter .. heh

250 GB seems like it would be hard to fill up

hmm..idk really 8gigs roughly a day...depends on how much you use your pc and what you do..average person tho would be overkill

250GB is actually total bandwidth. Up and Down. You'll be surprised how fast you'll send 100GB going up if you leave a torrent running lol.

But if you don't overdo it, they won't even care.

well i use my PC a lot on any given day, and i use my PS3 too so maybe i hit the cap so they decided to annoy me with stupid R0s

no

if u hit cap they shut u off or something?

how does that even work lol

no like he said if you keep doing it they will send you a letter basically saying you are bogging up there network etc..you better stop..then if you don't they might

Nah, there's no hard cap.

If you hit the "cap", they do audits and automatic reporting, for more than 3-4 months straight, they'll send you an email or letter.

ah ok so if u do get a letter then u should slow down

well i never got a letter like that from comcast

guess they just hate me for no reason

don't worry about it really :P unless you are just dloading massive amounts of stuff on top of doing your normal stuff on pc

nah i dont download much of anything, just stuff from the PSN store on occasion and maybe max 10-15 songs a month

i also had comcast i found there service/cumstomr service to be absolite ***i had same probalem as you for about 1 year till i finaly had enough and went to DSL with bellsouth now i never hit the red 0 :) screw comcast with there rude customrer suupport

Since the update I have had terrible issues with my connection.
I get R0'd like crazy during the day time and in certain battlefields.
I had Comcast come out and check my service.
They didn't find a problem but did note that i had a weaker than normal signal.
I had everything rewired and a new modem/router installed,
my internet connection is great. However,
none of that solved the problem with my FFXI connection.
I have been in this house over a year without an R0 or d/c problem
but after this last big update I've had nothing but that.
A high percentage of my in game friends have had the same issues,
tho i'm not sure of their ISP. I have to think it is the game servers
because I'm still online when the game R0 and/or d/c.
Any ideas?

im having the same R0 problem still

i have no idea how to fix it still, it sucks, yesterday i d/c'd once and R0'd to like 70% like 10 times, R0d for like 3 seconds a few times too

I'm curious, do you work or have you worked for Comcast in the past? Or any other cable provider? As someone who does anything and everything communications cable related in the military you seem to know more than most about it.
