Anyone having issues with there Comcast Internet service?? My internet service blinks the screen goes blank for 1 sec then comes back on?? My service is slow and does not respond quickly. At home in NY I have a 7 year old HP desk top and it is lightening fast with no interruptions. Here in TV using Comcast I have a brand new HP laptop.

Streaming is the way to go. I have a service that has thousand of channels for less than 20 dollars a month. Everyone that has it loves it. Interested email me tvalternatives99@yahoo.com.

We just switched from spectrum to dish. We like the service but we had to keep spectrum for internet. Our installer was great and even hooked up a WiFi mesh so our internet is amazing

someone once told me ...everybody hates there cable company...no matter who you have !!!!

Forget all the cable and satellite TV providers and start streaming. Easy, a lot less expensive, and more channels. Cable and satellite TV are walking dinosaurs

I love my YoutubeTV streaming. $65 / month and it has every single channel I ever watched on cable, plus local stations, plus DVR, plus no contract. And, there's shear joy in calling the cable service and cancelling.

We cut the cord and streaming with HULU. Huge savings and great customer service.

Cut the cord and stream. No frustrations. Low cost even if you pay for channels like Netflix, etc.

Get an internet provider of your choice and buy an Amazon fire stick and stream what you want. It works awesome

Had the same concern last year with Comcast and switched to Dish. The wife hated it. I thought it was OK, especially for taping lots of shows, but we still needed high speed internet. Tried DSL and it was terribly slow. Paid Comcast for just internet and when combined with the Dish, the cost was nearly the same total. Went back to all Comcast with a cheaper 2-year promotional contract. The wife is happy, happy! Happy wife, happy life.

We ditched Comcast last month. Got internet with CenturyLink for 49.99 locked in for life. Went with Max23TV. No buffering. Over 1000 channels, including our hometown channel and all of the sports channels. Love it. No contracts.

Pedrocarrasco01@yahoo.com 02-11-2021 07:32 AM

Had Dish, Direct TV, etc

We had Direct TV, Dish Network, Comcast Xfinity, no comparison every time it rains either here or where the signal is being transmitted from, you will lose picture or cause extreme pixelization in your screen. The key to dealing with Comcast it to NEGOTIATE with them, the January increase were taxes and government charges. Negotiate with them starting 3 months before your contract is over. They are the best in programming and picture quality plus internet, want to save big money, use Xfinity cellular, we had Verizon and were paying over $100 per month for 2 lines, last month with Xfinity it was $14.99 for 2 lines.

Reached the same level of aggravation that you have. Switched to DirecTV and wondered why I hadn’t done it sooner.

Don’t get bamboozled by choosing DISH to save a couple bucks a month. Their content is much less than DirecTV and their tech support and service is impossible. My neighbor did that, switched a second time to DirecTV and discovered he had to get rid of the DISH dish at his own expense.
