Who here uses comcast?

[OnionRings]

Say if you use them, and what your speed is. I get 200/10, and I'm so annoyed they don't offer more upload speed, they tell me " we'll send your suggestion to the right department " and never hear from them again. Higher upload would allow me to upload videos faster and stream at higher bitrates.

I use them. We sub to 75/10, I think the fastest we can get is 150/15. Fastest upload speed is 35 Mbps, and thats only offered on the Gigabit tier. Dont expect to hear for them. Because they dont give a fuck about. Not trying to sound mean, but Comcast doesnt give a fuck. Youll take what they give you or leave there network. Thats the Comcast attitude.

Not sure if this is against the rules, hopefully not, don't see why not as I'm not making money off it or anything, but anyway... if you have Comcast and you think they don't offer a high enough upload speed, please sign this. I would appreciate it. It may not work, they may not listen or even care, but it doesn't hurt to try. I get 230+ Mbps down speed and only 12 up, it's terrible. I need more so I can stream at higher bit rates, and upload videos faster. I would gladly purchase a higher package, but they don't offer it. The staff keeps telling me " they'll send me suggestion along " but I doubt they do. Maybe together, we can make a difference.

haha with them I got 7Mb/s. Carrier pigeon is faster. I moved to symmetric with someone else after they did the 1TB cap rollout. 

 

And this is a long time practice of theirs, and you'd be better off getting another ISP and telling them this is why you moved, or if it's a monopoly then figure out why and bother elected representatives who will in turn do nothing.

Unfortunately, I can't switch, nothing better. And I can't move, I live with my parents still and they don't want to break their lease to leave, and they don't want to move away from family. So I'm stuck with Comcast.

You still have faster internet than most of us though... You don't need upload speed to "stream" data to your PC, that's download.

And if you want to upload videos, you should get a business line or contact them to know what you can get in exchange for paying hundreds per month, is what they want you to do. There's a reason why upload speed is so low, to try and reduce network strain from would be pirates who just upload terabytes of data every month, congesting the network for everyone else. Also to allow more bandwidth to be given to the downstream.

Where i live almost all plans are symmetric and cheap, compared to civilized world. I have 80 up/80 down for 10$ a month.

cable ISPs throttle uploads, its not only in the US but all around the world. The first problem is that your modem isnt powerful enough to transmit back at higher speeds. The 2nd is that they want you to consume, not use the internet as an interconnected network (no own private services for self).

If you can drop those SOB's like you mean it an go with Verizon, I just dumped Comcast because of lousy customer service and had the same speeds as you went with Verizon and now get 650ish down and 800ish up

Unfortunately, where I live they only offer a max of 15 down, not sure the up but it probably isn't much. Maryland is shit, but I can't move. My mom doesn't want too and I can't afford to be on my own.

A business line huh, what would something like that cost? Not sure if they would even offer that here.

It's not that simple. I have the best package offered.

[TheCherryKing]

I have to use Comcast because the only other option in my development is dial up. Too bad Verizon FIOS is no longer in Florida. When I move next year I am only going to buy a house if there are high-speed internet options other than Comcast.

By all means, if you know how I can call Comcast, and mind control them into offering a super secret package that they don't offer normally. I'm all ears buddy.

You do know that Verizon's customer service is rated as poorly as Comcast's right?  I think both are only beaten by Time Warner.

I know your probably right but Crapcast is the worst and if I'm going to have bad service the least I can do is get the fastest bad service for the money
