I have one problem with Comcast's internet service,,is is a little steep as far as internet access goes. However, considering I am using a very old, refurbished computer, with low ram,it is working very nicely for me. I have had no problems with the service for the two years that I have been using it,...

Wow, where do I start when it comes to Comcast. I love the service, the cable comes in clear and the Internet access is fast!

So, I sign up for a comcast deal online via their website. It says I'm signing up for Digital Cable and Internet for $33 a month each for 6 months. I have the print out of everything...

Comcast's physical infrastructure is capable of the fastest internet available to most consumers. The nearest competitor is Verison's FIOS, which maxes out at 30Meg/sec and is a very small network, not available to most. Comcast uses DOCSIS 2 and will be implementing DOCSIS 3. DOCSIS 2 tops out at 48Meg/sec and DOCSIS 3 will be capable of 343Meg/sec. The fastest DSL can offer is 24Meg/sec (ADSL2+).

The gist of the this is that Comcast technically has the best product out there. However Comcast does not dominate the market by far. DSL providers are strong competition. You might wonder why?

Horrible...

I have Comcast High speed internet, I HATE the company Comcast, but it's better then Verizon who allows '3rd party billing' where Comcast dosen't. The actual service is good, i rarely have interuptions of service, but they 'force' you to order their cable tv channels in order to get a cheaper price for the internet. If you just want internet service, with NO cable tv channels, the cost of the high speed internet is MORE then just ordering the internet service by itself.

Comcast also 'reserves the right' to restrict access to any website who they feel they don't want you to see....THIS IS GOING TO...

I have had the Comcast High speed Isp for over 2 years.I have compared it's speed vs at&t and other services.I have also spoken to people who have high speed(dsl),and they agree comcast is much faster. Streaming and downloading movies and videos is very easy and the quality is great.Truthfully The high speed isp from comcast is the only reason I have kept the comcast cable service and haven't switched to sattelite tv. Comcast offers the Isp cable and phone service together,and I can't have one without the other.Still I am pleased with Comcast Isp.

Comcast High speed internet is a cable internet service that frees up your land line at home. Because the internet is only using comcast wires, you don't get the mix-up in communication that you might get when you use dial-up, there for the internet is a lot faster.

I grew up in a home where we were very interested in the new technologies.  I've have apple IIE's and early versions of desktops.  Our first internet provider was dial-up Prodigy.  The graphics were much like that of an Atari game.  The internet was super slow. but with every upgrade it seemed like the version before was a lot...

I have such an intense dislike for all things Comcast. While the 'high speed' interent is certainly fast, the connection requires resetting at LEAST 10 times a day. Every time I call them, they claim there is nothing wrong with their service, it must be on my end. Even the technician that came to check things out, from comcast, told me it was a problem with the connection outside. Their fix was to drag a cable wire from the neighbor's house, across both our driveways and into my connection box to 'fix' the problem.

I was told by comcast 'when we have someone available to bury the wire, we will.'...

After the hurricane and the electricity came back on, tryed out my internet service and it did not work. talked to some of the neighbors and they said theres was working so I called comcast. They said there were problems in the neighbor hood and would like to set up an appointment for september 22 between 11 am and 4 pm. someone would need to be home. No one showed up that day. Called back and they said they was very busy and would have some one out on the 25th and every thing would be working. Nothing that day so called back only to hear that they need to set up an appointment for the 29th between... review »

The product is good, the service is terrible.  I love the always connected, high speed internet.  However, the customer serivce at comcast is appalling.  When we moved from one house to the next it took 3 weeks to get our service transferred to the new home, and then the installation was done incorrectly.  It took another week to get a new service person to our home to fix it.  Their reps are rude on the phone and you cannot talk directly to a supervisor.  They will take your "name and number" and tell you a supervisor will call you back, but they never do.  Recently we had an unexplained... review »

I signed up for comcast $20 offer on august 2nd (sunday), on the phone. the installation appointment was scheduled for tuesday but i thought it was thursday, so i missed it. later on tuesday the 4th i called tech support and "Jared" set up my own modem remotely. the internet worked great until Monday, when it started to only allow Comcast setup webpage. so i figured it's a typical comcast glitch and waited a day. i called tech support today (wednesday) and my account simply disappeared. tech rep transfered me to sales and "alex" said my location was disconnected on sunday the 2nd!

Comcast itself is ok, but my experience trying to GET it was terrible!

I called on a Monday to schedule the install - the guy I spoke with said "how about tomorrow?"  Meaning TUESDAY.  So i was off work, and I said sure.

Tuesday from 3-6 I sat @ my apartment.  Good thing I had a book to read.  No one showed up.

Wednesday, I'm at work, and I get a call from comcast saying they are at my apartment, where was i?!   I called the main office, and had to reschedule for the FOLLOWING  Tuesday.  Then, when I finally got the install done, they brought a regular cable box and NOT the DVR i requested......

Comcast is the spawn of satan, in my opinion.  When it works, it works, but if connection is lost or unavailable from their end, they will not reimburse or give any kind of credit. Customer service reps are usually pretty friendly, but they are unable to help out in some circumstances.

One plus--if the service is threatened for shut off, they will give you up to 2 weeks to pay it with the internet still running.  That's a great thing.

All in all, waiting for Wide Open West to come to my area.  They have a much better package deal than comcast, and I understand their service is impeccable.

They have good service  most of the time, but too expensive compared to other internet service providers. Too many times we have had to deal with people that cannot speak or understand English. They advertise great deals but once you have service with them you are stuck at a higher price. Sometimes the service is  very slow and when there is bad weather, it is difficult to get service or you get disconnected for no reason. They do not give you any kind of credit for their problems or inconvenience but you must pay your bill on time no matter what.

Ok...I pay full price for comcast internet but now I have to deal with the advertizing on the side of the email system.  Since I'm paying full price, why should I have to deal with the ads each time.  I called customer services and they told me the ads couldn't be disabled.  BAD COMCAST!!!!....I cannot wait until ATT offers everything in my area.

Also, we were out of service for one day but did we get a credit on our bill....NO!!  Did comcast answer the 1000's of comments on their website about the credit to our bills....NO!!!
