and sometimes it will just slow down, and barely load any pages and I will see substantial packet loss right before the connection times out.
Have had this problem for years, but..its still better then dial up 99% of the time...
I have heard the new FIOS from verizon is the sh*t...I might check that out soon.

A lot of the time it is the modem or the way your house is connected to the network.
Have a guy come by and check it or call Comcast to do a diagnostic over the phone.

It happened to me as well with Time Warner.

That's weird, TW here in Ohio is the pwnage, other than the fact that the overall speed is lower than a lot of other places in this country, but yeah.
I never get outages, never get speed drops, and TW recently bumped me from 5mbps to 7 for free.
I also hate Comcast for what they did to TechTV.
Just call them and tell them to fix their shitty service before you drop them for something better.

Revert to my experience
I feel your pain.
Haha, after they finally realized that the problem was not within my house, they figured out it was a problem with a node outside. All Comcast customers on my street had little or no connection. Therefore, they had to install an amplifier to increase the signal.

It turns out that some asshole would come out and steal the amplifier out of the junction box in my neighbors yard. Every single time. f*cking assholes. I don't know if they ever found out who was doing it. But I told them if they didn't have the sh*t fixed in a week, I would cancel my services. It has been fine ever since.

what really pisses me off is that about a week ago i finally get a letter in the mail saying verizon fios (which i checked 20times as school was starting) is now available after i got my comcast sh*t all setup for a month and paid installation fees etc. f*ckin bullsh*t.
How much better is verizon's fios service?
