With Comcast you’ll get an exceptionally high speed internet. But even better than that, if you share a connection with other people and they are all online at once, the internet connection will be just as quick.

Over the past two months or so we've reported on a number of communication providers plans to impose bandwidth caps on their Internet customers. AT&T implemented a market trial in Reno, Nevada that began on November 1st where users were given a bandwidth usage range of 20GB to 150GB a month. Then in October, Comcast, one of the first to put a limit in place, enabled a 250GB a month cap for custome

I can not convey to you just how much I hate Comcast cable right now. They were scheduled to come to my home on Thursday to perform a complete install. They never show.

I was and still very livid!I have no TV and no internet. I called them first t

Verizon Communications Inc. is bringing the fight over TV customers to the hometown of its biggest cable rival, Comcast Corp., the nation's largest cable company. Verizon on Thursday asked Philadelphia's City Council to approve a 15-year video franchise agreement allowing it to offer fiber-optic TV service in the city. Councilman Darrell Clarke introduced an ordinance to give Verizon the right to

Comcast reported a 38 percent increase in third quarter profits, as the company has been able to prosper off of higher cable TV rates. Comcast also reported that it expects to exceed its free cash flow growth forecast of at least 20 percent for its fiscal 2008.

In recent weeks, many Comcast subscribers have been having intermittent issues with their e-mail, but it’s been more of a nuisance than anything else.

Today, Comcast announced that it will amend its Acceptable Use Policy and add a clause to it that will establish a "monthly data use threshold" of 250 GB per month. This effectively puts a cap on the amount a Comcast user can download per month and codifies an informal policy Comcast was already enforcing. While 250GB is a large amount of data right now, it won't be once a large number users start

Other than Time Warner's single-city foray into monthly data caps, consumption-based billing has mostly been little ISPs with little monopolies, and given the market, we thought it'd stay that way.

The researchers at the University of Colorado discovered that they were able to generate the same type of forged TCP reset packets used by Comcast to block ("delay," according to the cable provider) BitTorrent uploads. During peak traffic periods, the researchers saw TCP reset packets popping up all over the place, which they said were "aimed at any new TCP connection regardless of the application-level protocol." With Comcast having recently announced its intention to adjust its traffic management practices, alarm bells went off. Instead of giving up the practice of using TCP reset packets to manage BitTorrent traffic, it appeared that Comcast was doing the opposite: extending it to cover all sorts of traffic. In an official statement, Comcast said it had yet to make the announced changes
