Hi, When I lived on the NH seacoast and had DSL, I had no problems. Here in Temple, NH I'm pretty much stuck with Comcast for TV and Internet. I've had nothing but issues with their internet service (and I pay for their "fastest" speed burst option).
My Vonage conversations , if they go on for any length of time, are inevitably cutoff and I have to reset the modem to get my internet service back. Downloads and torrents seem sporadic as well, as was indicated in several other emails on this topic. Several family members using the internet simultaneously, results in a slowdown reminiscent of the old college days in "VAX-Land" when the staff upstairs was doing "important work". Comcast has been trying to get me to go over to their VoIP as well, and mumbled something about installing new lines in my house if I did. I've heard that there were others having issues (with Comcast) with regards to their VoIP service as well.

I'm leaving it up for a while to "share I heard, somewhere, that Comcast is actually being sued for violating net neutrality. Supposedly, they're throttling BitTorrent traffic. Sorry, I don't have any links to support this; this info is purely from the rumor mill. :) _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
