Comcast internet woes.

Well up here in Maryland, Comcast is pretty nice actually. If you are having connection troubles, maybe its the physical connection near your house.

When I first got Comcast, I couldn't even connect at all. Later, it was found out that the cables connected to our house underground were all worn and had to be replaced. After they were replaced, everything was fine.

Did you ask other people in your area who have Comcast whether they have the same problem too?

A technician has been called. He is supposed to check the modem. If that isn't the issue, he's supposed to lay down a dedicated line. That, along with the visit, is going to cost about $60. Anything else I should request?

Just make the technician stay until your connection seems to stay fast and stable.

Another thing that comes to mind is that the modem outlet thing in your house may be too old. In my basement, I had an outlet that would work, but barely. When I unscrewed the cover off, the wire ending that your cable connected too was frayed so I just cut it off and stripped off some of the cable to get a newer better ending.

My Comcast service is....okay. I get about 2-3 interruptions a month for maybe a few hours at a time. Otherwise, though, I've not had any real problems. [Knocks on wood.]

A month or two ago, I resorted to connecting the cable to the primary interior splitter in the attic which extends all cable connections throughout the entire house. It worked for several weeks, then it failed again. It comes back once in a while.
