Bellsouth vs. Comcast

[MachNU]

Which is better Comcast fast acess or wtf ever its called or Bellsouth Fast Access? I am looking at upgrading internets, and have bellsouth slow access currently, and its just about $25 more a month for their better internet, or $67 a month through comcast, with a $200 installing fee!

Bellsouth Fast Access

[Chuckster]

I have had comcast and now using bellsouth fast access. Only reason why I switched is b/c comcast customer service sucks. They are both pretty good. No problems with bellsouth yet. Only problem I had with comcast was every few months the internet would reset it self and it made me go through settign up comcast on my pc all over again and people at comcast had no clue why. They just gave me a shortcut through the comcast setup.

[MachNU]

so speed wise there is no difference? becuase it would be a pain in the ass to spend all that money for hook up fee and **** when i can just upgradE!?!?!

[Chuckster]

I havnt notice a difference. I have heard it depends on where you live also. When I lived in Alpharetta I had comcast and it was way faster then out here in Kennesaw. I have a buddy that has Bellsouth and he says my connection is faster then his and he lives in Marietta.

[MachNU]

well **** looks like i have to go with the comcast, the bellsouth fastaccess 6/512 is not available where i live!

[ueyedgr8tness]

comcast ftw!! i would rather not have net if i had to go with bell S..

I have Comcast and all I pay is 40 something a month and Mike I can fawk'n help you install it. All you have to do is go to a Best Buy I believe and get the Comcast kit and it would walk you through it. I did means myself, but I also purchased my cable modem, because renting one only adds up, but when I did that it also had a $100 rebate.

you mean you just paid for the monthly service signing up and best buy sells a home install kit? i just want a single line i can attach into a modem then run to a router to transfer signal between two systems?

Yea. Well I stay in an apartment and Comcast basic cable was included in my package as well as other things. Yea I just pay the basic fee nothing more nothing less. And I'm not to sure about the last part, you might want to call customer service on that one man lol

Witch fast access are you getting. if its not the highest one then comcast is faster. but price wise. i would stick with dsl cause i mean its still fast.

comcast rapes bellsouth... I'm a gamer so Comcast 10mb cable is a must.. None of bellsouth's services even compare to that speed. If you're gaming.. then go with comcast.. if you're just going to download stuff and surf the web, stay with Bellsouth and get their fastest package.

For now, we've (AT&T) have been testing dsl service that syncs up at about 24mb download as of late.. its rolling out in Cobb county first then spreading out from there.

[RISKYB]

[Nissan Sean]

just get a wireless adapter and steal internet. all you have to do is pickup someones wirless. i do it all the time with my laptop. lol. i'd go with comcast, they are the shizzat when it comes to internet speed. faster than bellsouth

[zoeb786]

bellsouth has internet service without a phone line, debuted last month. just ask for "dsl direct" when you call in. you can get the fastest internet in atlanta (6.0 mb, same as comcast) for the same price and its more reliable..

edit: price is $45 per month, no regulatory fees that they charge on phone lines...

Comcast ftl if you use the internet a lot or download a ton of stuff.

I think its all about location, when I had Bell South I would get DC at least 10-15 times a day. When it rains, I can forget about getting online. Comcast hasn't given me any problems.
