My internet is completely borked. I think it happened during the last rain storm. Some water must of gotten in and short circuited a wire or something. Anyway, my internet now works for about 5 min at a time before completely stopping for any random amount of time. The only was I am able to browse PSU right now is by sitting at the window next to my neighbor's house and leaching off of his blazing fast connection :D. My dad decided that instead of tracking down the problem and fixing it, he is going to switch to Comcast. I just wanted your guys opinion on comcast. I know it is considered the devil here on PSU because some of its users could not display this site. My neighbors connection is comcast, and it gets PSU fine, so that is not an issue. Is there anything else I should know before we get comcast?

Comcast can lick my sack.

Unfortunately it is all I have, so I gotta use it. Works good when the loads aren't to heavy and when they don't fuck up the DNS server.

COMCAST IS THE DEVIL

How dare they even THINK about putting in a bid to buy Disney!

If they succeed, I will move into the bomb shelter that I have prepared in the event of George Bush's reelection.

They suck for the most part, I use them however because there really is no other option. It seems the PSU problem with comcast is gone finally

Well, now I know to stay away from Comcast.

Incedently...Comcast may be the Devil...but Disney is Satan...I know, I used to work for them....look what it did to me!

Joking aside, Comcast's CEO used to work for Disney and I wouldn't be surprised if Roy Disney had asked for a small favor in order to help push Eisner out (Eisner was origonally brought in to help stave things like this off...how ironic). There bid was awfuly low and Comcast has no experiance in running a highly diverse mega-media giant like Disney. If anything, Disney could come right back with a counter offer to buy out Comcast. Besides, I don't think the Regulatory bodies will let this one fly. Time-Warner was about the biggest they will allow. Plus being that huge doesn't mean you are profitable, just like Time-Warner discovered.

I think its has its various regions for service. I dont see what there is to hate about Comcast buying Disney. Just, ... fear.

Indeed. It is highly overrated.

PS: I like Bush. Vote for him.
