- Be sure to always have a backup plan handy, so when you start seeing your poingbot window saying "Request timed out." over and over, you can quickly switch to your backup plan.

Cox sucks... cox.

Wow, their name says it all!

And disconnects are bad. o-o I hate the fact this router is wireless and I can't connect my desktop to it due to no wiring going through the house. =\

It's times like this that I'm glad I have Verizon... and my wireless antenna has actually not gone down once today, which is a new record of sorts... (but now I'm really tempting it)

Yesterday, cable was very unstable in general, for me. Kinda sucks to see TV getting crappy, and you know you're gonna disconnect in a few seconds.

It's randomly bad here... sometimes it'll be working fine, then out of nowhere and unexpectedly down it goes.

The provider here is fine, it rarely goes offline (but if it does, it's usually for days or weeks). The main problem is the wireless network, mostly it works fine but sometimes it suddenly becomes much, much weaker, which disconnects me and requires me to move the computer out to have a chance at getting an acceptable signal quality.

I wish I could get that... unfortunately they haven't rolled it out over here yet... (Which is especially annoying since I still get bombarded by commercials for it)

I just want reliable internet. I'm suprised the connection here is working as well as it is, it'll probably explode once I move back to my bed.

Which I'm going to do now, whee.

Drag's Post #31
Comcast is in the process of doing some kind of work or something. The side effect of this is that my internet connection gets extremely laggy and eventually just goes completely out at night, starting anywhere from 8 pm to 11 pm, and lasting until I wake up the next day. >:

Before this all started, they sent us a brochure saying that they're going to be adding a TON of new digital channels to our line up (I'm most excited about G4! I get that at college, but not here at home), so I think whatever they're doing at night is related to that.

It's not just the internet going out either, I get glitches in the digital channel signal too, leading to sound cut-outs, the picture freezing, and FunkysquaresTM.

Our ISP is fine (AT&T/Yahoo), except for the times it randomly disconnects. This usually happens once or twice a day (sometimes within 5 minutes of each other) right in the middle of a conversation. ... Okay, so maybe our ISP isn't so reliable, but at least it's faster than 3 kb/s, or even 0.01 kb/s.

Drag's Post #33
The biggest problem is, not only is America WAY behind on speed (Japan enjoys 60 megabit download speeds, where our top speed is 6 megabits.), but there's no competition.

For example, in my area, Comcast is the *only* cable internet provider, and Verizon is the *only* DSL provider.

A lot of people say "oh Comcast sucks go with Verizon", but I don't like that, because not only is DSL slower than cable, but, again, they're the only provider in our area of DSL, so who's to say they won't be screwing with us like Comcast does?

Well, it's still competition in the market of "High-speed internet", even if they use different systems... you might as well say that Nintendo has a Wii monopoly...

I actually think Cox is one of the least crappy providers out there -- it's jus tthat the wiring in this area of the city is so incredibly bad...
