CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted April 25, 2011 damn, i thought my numbers were tons better than that... comcast internet is surprisingly very good... i don't have the top internet package but, i thought the numbers would be a little better than that... if only their TV service was good... it fucking blows, i'm not paying $50 for shitty channels and horrible service... but for the internet, yea, i'll pony up what it costs...

Guest Bruce Willis Report post Posted February 8, 2012 I pay for 8mb/s, but I can max it to 50 Doesn't the 50 refer to the speed from your wireless modem to your PC or something though? I'm sure someone here could explain how it all works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's just the speeds your PC is running that's not what your provider is giving you if you, also you could try to optimizing your internet speed on your laptop but that requires a deal of knowledge but some programs such as AVG PC Tuneup offer Internet Optimization.

No wonder you're getting screwed with connection speed in the US AOL is extremely trashy for an ISP, I'm not sure if it's like that in the UK but it seems like it. I would suggest calling them and complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bruce Willis Report post Posted February 11, 2012 So AOHell told me to do 3 speed test's at 3 hour intervals via Internet Explorer (plugged in with ethernet cable) with online-speedtest.net and add my phone number at the end. Now on the phone to them to see what they can do... Bell ends said the last two test results didn't go through to them and I should try again. Fuck you AOL and get some english speaking fucking customer service people too, couldn't understand a fucking word your paki operator was saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
