    Having no internet at home sucks

    Last night Comcast experienced an outage covering most of Atlanta.  Of course I spent an hour at home trying to figure out what was wrong with my network before I called them.  The entire night was wasted.

    Two words, [smashed together] BellSouth. No issues since installation in Sept 2005. 3 meg down, 384k up. BellSouth DSL replaced our Charter Communications cable modem and we haven't looked back since. We're in Smyrna btw...

    I used to use Bellsouth's DSL but I switched for the higher speeds cable modems offer:
    (from www.comcast.net)
    * Comcast speed tiers range from 4.0 to 8.0 Mbps download speed (maximum upload speed from 384Kbps to 768Kbps respectively). The speed tier received and pricing will vary depending upon the speed tier selected and the level of Comcast video service and/or digital telephone service (if any) received. Speed comparisons are for downloads only and are compared to (as applicable, to 56K dial-up, 768Kbps, 1.5Mbps or 3.0Mbps DSL).
