New Internet, TV and phones 10:23 pm
Last week, I got convinced to switch from Verizon (for internet and phone) and Dish Network (for TV) to Comcast cable for all three. The big thing that convinced me was the price (we should save $80/month) but also because of poor service. The dish signal was erratic, especially for HD and DSL would also cut in and out once a month or so.

This morning we started with the following stats, courtesy of SpeedTest.net:

Right now, I have:

Ping: 13 ms
Download: 29.64 Mb/sec
Upload: 8.19 Mb/sec

I am very pleased!

The VoIP seems to work as we got a telephone solicitation call. The TV is a bit disappointing. The channel selecting menu is primitive compared to the DISH interface. The remote isn't full featured. I think it will still be OK, but we'll see.
Current Mood: techy
