Instructions unclear: Skipped to the end and told Comcast to fuck off. I don't have Comcast, but this worked anyway.
OptimisticMisanthrope
That's funny, he thinks you actually get to talk to a person if you call Comcast.
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
Today's assignment: what is an oligopoly and what is a cartel? When does one become the other? In which ways do they fuck their customers?

Or do what I did. Buy your own router and save the lease charge for their piece of junk.

Is it OK if I skip the gender-reveal-party-style pyrotechnics and proceed directly to telling Comcast to fuck off?

Amazon is not a monopoly; We choose to buy from them. Comcast is.

As a tech, most of this actually works...not sure about the reboot though..

Okay, now you put the router and your dick in gasoline and attach a car battery. Don't give up, you've almost got it!

We don't even have Comcast here but I support telling them to fuck off.

I'd bet Shaw is Canadas Comcast.
KillerTofu615
I'm conflicted because I have comcast as I only have 2 options where I am. One abysmal, the other Comcast. My service... decent. 550mb down
kaoticone
They gave good speeds if you are lucky in where you live. But service is terrible.
ligmabolz
Yeah but he has an AT&T router ....

Not even a customer and I would do it..

I feel lucky to live in a city where cable gets competition from FiOs. Do some of you still live where DSL is the only other option?
socloseyetsofa
I live in a county where the local gov won't allow anyone but comcast to buy an isp license. Local corruption at its finest.
abmoraz
I don't even have that. It's Comcast or dial-up.
kongfuchicken
Comcast spent a shitload of money to lobby my local governance to create ridiculous rules solely to stop google fiber from being offered.
MegaBladeZX25
Yup. And what sucked is that FIOS stopped one town away from us, a 15 minute bike ride.
abmoraz
FIOS ends 2 blocks away from me. My side of town has underground lines that are privately owned. FIOS has to install poles if they come here
PoppinLochNessHopster
You could rent a ditch witch and do what needs to be done in the middle of the night.
deafmute
DSL doesn't necessarily suck. My mom gets I think 80mbps down, which is alright. Not looking forward to my rate going up this summer
deafmute
When I'm no longer considered a new customer, especially since the only other option in my building is verizon dsl which is capped at 10mbps
andwings2go
It isn’t capped at 10. That’s the extent the hardware is capable of. Your mom is getting 80 unless she lives right next door to a hub.
deafmute
Nope, DSL can absolutely go faster, https://broadbandnow.com/DSL-Providers Consolidated Communications is who I told her to use.
ActuallyAPirate
Yup. It's that or non starlink satellite. So... yeah it's gonna be dsl.
cbale2000
Honestly, while it's obviously geared more for rural customers, the real benefit of Starlink (once the price drops) will effectively be...
cbale2000
... to provide competition to areas that effectively have none right now'.
freckledkink
One of the good things my state has done lately has been to make fast internet available to everyone in the state. Most counties have
freckledkink
Started their own fiber internet services. They are unlimited, fast, and go out to all rural areas. It's just about the only thing our state
freckledkink
Has done really well the last year. There's even a program where people can get $50 towards their internet each month as it's now considered
freckledkink
A necessity.
ActuallyAPirate
Damn that's cool, what state?
occlusion
My option is convincing comcast to run cable to my place, or sticking with satellite. Comcast is the lesser devil here.
occlusion
And Starlink isn't an option yet. If I'm still here in a couple years, maybe.
derzilly
My condo association convinced Frontier to run fiber lines to us. Then they started hooking up the interior bits, OUR BUILDING IS TOO OLD >>
derzilly
and needs completely rewired to get fiber to each unit! Omfg I about died. But! We can get their standard internet, which is still better >>
derzilly
than Comcast lol. I wish we could have convinced the association to rewire. *pipe dreams*
THEcableguy
LD4 panduit, surface mounts, inivisline.. There are many options to rewire old buildings. That was my job for years. Fiber to the home.
