Comcast High Speed Cable Internet

Nope. I've had Comcast for over a year. First 6 months were only $19.95  :laugh:

Sounds like Comcast Colorado is a lot cheaper for some reason.  :happy:

In Maryland Comcast costs about $49.99 per month w/ leased modem. I switched from Comcast to DSL ($29.99 p/m) and there are slight issues in our area w/ DSL... intermittent DNS problems... and weird fluctuations in download and upload speeds sometimes. :~) - I considered going back to Comcast but they are not worth the extra money. Plus Verizon DSL w/ MSN gives you 250MB of storage as opposed to the 10MB you get w/ Comcast.

hmm i use optimum online and get over 900 upload and over 5000 download

Yea I use optimum online and its probably THE best internet Ive ever had. Its supposedly 10mbit up and 1mbit down. Very excellent speeds both up and down I cant complain. Only thing bad is that my cable is capped right now because I uploaded over 20 GB in 2 weeks :rofl:

But other than that its great. Only $34.95 a month I believe, Also have Opt. Voice and IO Dig cable. Works out to be great :happy:

im in atlanta and i pay around $46 with the cable modem lease. I had it for around 2 years and I really havent had any problems. Only about 4 days out of the 2 years, the internet was down. 2 of those days was when they were changing from ATT to comcast. At first, i had 3.5mbit but as time went by, its 3mbit. It's okay, not too much difference

The only thing is, i pay $5 for modem per month, so i've paid more then $120 for the modem. The should stop charging me for this, i could get a modem for $120.

Hey I'm comparing this to my sucky slow-ass expensive DSL. Those are my only two choices - I really like it - it's fast and cheap.

DSL? Slow? Expensive?

Try $45/mo for 3000 Kbps downstream, 384 Kbps upstream ^_^

And: A free Static IP Address!

Unlucky me, I let go VZ DSL and got Comcast cable due to the speeds. And just recently VZ upgraded to 3.0mbps, and still only 29.95$.......Im paying 55.99$ right now for comcast at the same speeds. Also at times it lags, ALOT, like goes from 400kbps downloads to 5kbps. Ive only had cable for a month, but Im not very satisfied, so I give them 6/10...........Keep trying comcast.

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
