is the internet dial up?

I have had nothing but the runaround from Comcast, so much that I had to contact the President of the NE region.  Now my internet is SLOWER THAN AOL DIAL UP.  I have to wait at least an additional hour a day trying to complete my tasks.  IT SUCKS BIG TIME.

Re: is the internet dial up?

if your connection is that slow you need to get a tech out to see what the issue is.  is this a new install, a new issue, old issue.  What has been done by you or comcast to try to fix the issue.?

comcast tech came out and checked all wires and splitting.  Retention sent a new self install but I have no time to do that right now and tech didn't offer to install

I've moved your topic to the Connection forum where the connection experts may be able to help you.

 

1) How long has this been happening?

 

2) What is the make/model of the modem you are currently using? What is the make/model of the new one they sent you?

 

3) What security (firewall and antivirus) are you using?

 

4) Is there a router involved? If so are you connected by wire to the router or is it a wireless connection? If there are other computers on the network do they also experince this issue?

 

5) Do you have ANY Comcast/Xfinity software installed?

 

6) Please read this topic and post your modem signal levels, traceroute, and ping results.

1) months

2) arris old-cisco DCP3008 *I have cataracts.

3) Your Norton

4) No

5) yes, eight years

6) it is not my job to troubleshoot, it's YOUR job.  Again, this is part of the reason Comcast is the fourth most hated company in the USA per a recent report on ABC Nightly News.

7) put a couple of amps on the line.  I used to work at Comcast.
