I NEED CABLE !!
For a family that downloads as much torrents, plays as much games, and looks at as much **** as mine does... this gdamn yahoo dsl isn't cutting anything but my bandwrist. (ha......ha........ha)



I'm so dissapointed.

Comcast can't get a signal to this joint that sits on what use to be a creek bank, and the home of a murder scene. I wish the family that died here 50 years ago weren't so damn loud.
bleh

well....it seems like San Bruno Cable doesnt understand that upload speed plays a huge part of the overall internet experience for us. When you have tons of downstream but have upstream capped at 300kb/s you start to bottleneck getting requests out to get the downstream data.

BTW....San Bruno Cable only allows 3GB down and 2GB up total per month. A while back they crippled my service so I would call to ask....then put me through to the director to have him "counsel" me on usage. He says I can pay an additional $50/mo on top of the $30/mo existing to be allowed a total of 15GB traffic/mo.

You tell me thats not the biggest joke in the broadband industry!!! I really want to fight them, but they have a monopoly in San Bruno and the only competition is AT&T DSL at 3MBps. Anyone know how I can get these losers to stop it??
