Steve, <br>
If you have a Technicolor gateway those are known to have
problems with VPNs, Chromecast, multicast packets and bridge mode.
Swap out your equipment, specifically request an Arris because
you're using a VPN. SMC's also have some quirks.<br>

running into a problem trying to do vpn. Traceroute shows I'm
not getting out of the house. Investigating. If Comcast raises
their prices, TV and phone will go away in a heartbeat. Now that
it has been announced that Google fiber is coming to Atlanta and
some metro, it will be interesting to see how both Comcast and
ATT react. So glad to see additional competition.</div>

much as I detest them and their ways, I use their business
product extensively in our regional offices. When I
switched from Qwest, I increased the office bandwidth 10x
for less than half the cost we were paying for a single T1
at the time. That's hard to argue against. I saved my
company $150k per annum in one fell swoop. And believe me,
Qwest (now Century Link) were no angels either, they
f!@#ed us over to the tune of $60k through bad billing
over a period of several months that slipped through the
cracks ... I will NEVER touch them again. We were never
able to recover the money and my company was unwilling to
play hardball out of fear of getting 18 offices
disconnected.<br>
<br>
I guess that makes me a bit of a sell-out to the Comcast
bad-boys :-( But ... it could always be be worse ...<br>

I gave up on Comcast years ago. Even if they offered
me twice the<br>
bandwidth they do now at half the price they do now, I
would<br>
refuse. I<br>
got tired of all the lies they told me (multiple
documented occasions)<br>
years ago. I can tolerate incompetence or ignorance
but malice<br>
aforethought will not stand. I have plenty of
bitching points<br>
with ATT<br>
Uverse but, at least, willful lies are not one of
them...<br>
<br>
That all being said...<br>
<br>
[/Disclaimer]<br>
<br>
The saga of Comcast using your premises and your
electricity to<br>
promote<br>
THEIR wifi services is well documented. I saw this
first hand<br>
just this<br>
last month where the clutter of Xfiniti public access
points (on all<br>
possible channels) were drowning out (beaconing) the
legitimate<br>
services<br>
in a residential neighborhood, making non-xfiniti
services unreliable<br>
even within a single home where we were staying.<br>
<br>
The horror stories of their so called "customer
support" is also well<br>
documented... Safe advice is now to ALWAYS record any
support<br>
call with<br>
Comcast... Latest in that saga...<br>

Now, they are increasing your "rental fees" by 25% for
the<br>
privilege of<br>
providing their "service" to their customers using
your<br>
facilities. The<br>
rental fee on "their" cable modem is going up...<br>

<br>
I still have a couple of my old DOCSIS 2 modems from
the last time<br>
I was<br>
wasting my time with Comicalcast. But now, at $120 a
year to rent<br>
their<br>
"we advertise our own open service from your property"
modems, why is<br>
anyone still renting their modems? Morotola DOCSIS 3
cable modems are<br>
starting around $70 on Amazon? That's what? 7 MONTHS
return on<br>
investment?!?! And you are not providing them with
free<br>
electricity and<br>
facilities for their network or cluttering the air
with their access<br>
point beacons. How do they continue to get away with
this???<br>
