When it starts cutting out, just reboot your modem and router. That always straightens mins out for a week or so.

I used to use a company called bright house and my connection would drop put everyday or two and I would have to reset everything. I have comcast now and their service is better, I only lose connection once or twice a month. Still don't like them though.
Tell your roommates to call the cable company

can the competition give an iron clad, 100% money back guarantee in writing that their service will never drop in exchange for that additional $40 per month?

When has a company ever written up anything like that?

you have to ask the company you're dealing with, dont you have a right to know what you're getting before you pay for it?

I have comcast too and the WIFI would be super finicky for the longest time. But recently I upgraded the modem to a newer/ stronger one and now it works better.
Right when I got the new modem it wouldn't work with my phone though... So I had to online chat with Xfinity and have someone fix it. Thankfully it worked really well, the remotely re set my modem then updated it and got rid of some errors. I was getting really pissed off too and then I found the online customer service which was a huge help Thought it was cool they can do so much remotely.

How does that work? The modem upgrade was free at least and didn't effect the bill at all

They have a list of compatible cable modems and you can buy them on Amazon. Then buy a wireless router. I bought it when I moved in so the installer activated it. You can probably call them and get the modem activated.

That's cool, are there faster ones available or something? How does the pricing for activating other modems compare to Comcast ones?

There is no charge t o activate it. You don't pay rent and have better equipment. You are probably paying 7-10 dollars a month modem rental. If you have good equipment, I wouldn't worry about it.

ehh that's not going to do much your modem just lets the provider know you have internet t
you wont see any increase unless you upgrade your computers wifi with a better wifi card or plug it in to the router but even then the speed is the same just less loss of packets with cord
the best router i ever had was a link sys g-router that had two antennae on it but I moved from G to N and ended up getting a router with a smaller range because it didn't have those goofy looking antennae
again tho a wire goes a really long way, especially for gaming
