Also looks like they're having router issues though i cant exactly discern the nature of it, only a year in school and the stuff Im seeing screw up is well beyond my current knowledge.
I blame improper routing tables and updates in the end which would explain massive packet dumps it be like a post office in middile of nowhere going london? where's dat? meh throw away. Where I live Comcast is not a franchise. They are pretty much the only cable provider here. They are one of only 2 places you can get internet service from in most areas. I used to work for them. While they do deny dumping packets. They do. They also throttle connections. If you get close to your monthly limit or they feel you are downloading too much withing a days timespan they will throttle you. Every other week I have to call them. I will get **** slow service, reset everything, normal DNS flush, modem reset...blah blah blah. I can troubleshoot for hours...call Comcast and say "Im getting slow service. Is there an issue right now". The agent responds "Nope no issues (click, clack, clickity, clack)." Ill hand up right then and there and 2 seconds later...BAM! Internet is working fine again. Goes like this twice a month 100% of the time. EvE is not about PvP.-á EvE is about the SANDBOX! - CCP!-á Open the door!!! |

My school has the equipment thanks to generous donations of local updating local isps so we got about a couple hundred routers to work with. Largest topology I can seem to shove together within the hour is 3 routers via switches and get them to see each other and squawk to each other.
Worst I problems I have done was fudging the routing table or plugging in the the serial cables before my partner got the line set up which causes it to start slarping.
My local isp guys are looking for engineers I am considering getting an internship for the summer with them since they do pay thier interns which is nice.

True, but then not everyone tailors their posts specifically for you ;)
Anyway, Comcast peasant here too. I say peasant since they're the only choice in my area except crappy DSL and being just beyond the distance from the CO for anything but 1.5Mbps.
Honestly, Comcast is a great service. 100% uptime as long as you never use it. Otherwise, expect plenty of issues if you're doing more than say purchasing from their prioritized web partners. We want breast augmentations and sluttier clothing in the NeX! |

Had centurylink(centurytel) used to go down as long as 14 hours at a time. You might have a good month or 2, but the next 3 months constant drops. Switched to WOW now I drop 3 times and hour.

No, we're assuming everyone can use Google. Everyone != Americans only. Otherwise, you demonstrate an ineptitude that you can't explain away purely based on one's heritage. Arrogance has nothing to do with it. This follows along the line of such sayings "RTFM" or "Google is your friend". Conversely, expecting us to spell out everything you do not understand or comprehend when the information is available within 2 minutes of attempting to find it is, on the other hand, arrogant. And so is basing your notion of arrogance on the fact that American's are talking about an American service provide in some clandestine attempt to exclude the rest of the world because we're....well....American. We want breast augmentations and sluttier clothing in the NeX! |

How the hell is he being arrogant? The post was really to get corroboration from other people with Comcast that they were having an issue as well. You don't know what Comcast is, then you obviously don't have anything to contribute to the thread. |

Fun facts: Comcast is in the top 5 most hated brand in America, and has been on that list than any other company in the last 50 years!
The entire point... and ONLY point, of creating the brand "Xfinity", was to address their brand image problem. It's the equivalent of recycling alts in EvE... if the new alts were created in the same corporation. It wouldn't fool anyone in eve, and it's not fooling anyone in RL.
They got caught throttling bandwidth, spying on users, and have a long history of terrible customer service.
Grrr... want to pod them...

They insulate themselves from their customers so well, it becomes insane to try to get anything from them.

Whenever I'm staying at someone's house for any length of time the first question I ask is, "Do you have Comcast?" If the answer is "yes" the looks on the poor folk's faces resemble those at a funeral. When the answer is "no", those folks beam with pride. What Comcast has failed to do in the decades I've been dealing with them is make their service as reliable as the arrival of their bills.
I'm paying for a Comcast gaming hookup and was getting horrible internet speed. I call. They send out a guy to see if the modem's plugged in, claim nothing's wrong (that they can see), then bill me for the visit...since there wasn't a problem. After getting an upper management guy on the phone through sheer belligerence, and retelling my tale accompanied by the name and address of the lawyer I had lined-up to file a lawsuit, HE magically gave me the number of a tech-guy of theirs in Virginia. He came out and ran a real diagnosis. Cleaned up their horrendous hardware arrangement, got me a modem (which few customers know they stock) and gave me his card in case any other trouble arose. None has...but for the sort experienced by this group of posters.
I might add, while the EVE server was inaccessible via Comcast, I was still playing another game with no trouble at all...
An 89-year-old lady went to her local Comcast office one day, with a hammer. She went in and began smashing phones, computers and monitors. Employees subdued her, took her into the waiting room and had her sit there presumeably until the police arrived. When they left her alone in there, she went back INTO the offices and started pounding things again. Her husband had a gold charm on a gold necklace made for her...a little gold hammer. He was proud of her as were we all.

It is a reasonable presumption for most geeks. They're only the worst ISP in the US (I'm not from the US, don't live there and I know that)
However, I will introduce you to another website you may not have heard of. It's called Google. If a topic is foreign to you; you can always type the words into Google and click Search. Or, if you are using a browser like Google Chrome just right click and ...
Wait. I don't want to confuse you. |

I feel your pain. I used to have to use Comcast. They are a horrible company to deal with. They bought every single ISP that was operating in our area, so it was them or dial up.
For years I would lose my internet for hours a day while there while they insisted that there was nothing wrong and refused to look into it. It was seriously like a switch, every day between 23:30 and 1:00 it would just cut off for a couple hours.
I couldn't drop them fast enough once some competition too big for them to buy out moved in.
I pay less, for faster internet, practically 100% uptime, and actual customer service. |

Funny thing, this just happened to me last light, around 1am Pacific Standard Time. For 30min I was unable to log in to the game or get on their website.
Everything else worked fine, I was on vent , and surfing the net, but I was unable to get on anything EVE related. I tried logging in and server status would be 'unknown.' So I call my brother up, and ask him him to log into EVE or go onto their website since he has Comcast as well. He was in the situation I was in.
It is very unfortunate that Comcast is my only cable ISP in my area. It's either Comcast or DSL. |

ho boy, what upstream provider are they fighting with this week?
I feel for you guys, comcast is craptastic and has been for years
and we cost some corpies last night in the netsplit The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

It is very unfortunate that Comcast is my only cable ISP in my area. It's either Comcast or DSL. Same. It was a frustrating night. I've always been convinced that Comcast techs are in fact scripts, as opposed to high-school dropouts reading scripts. After an hour of my own belligerence (lol) a "tech" finally told me that the domain had been blocked, but couldn't tell me why. She told me to fill out this form (I can't I'm not the host) to restore service "in six to eight weeks" and then promptly hung up on me.
I guess I'd be more surprised if this exact same thing hadn't happened already, but as far as I'm concerned, when it's 3AM and I can't connect to EVE, what else do I have to do other than ruin some tech's day by demanding answers other than 'did you try unplugging your modem?" http://blog.beyondreality.se/Incursion-hose Remove all incursions from hisec |
