I'm About Done With Comcast
So I just made an expensive and powerful home server just to realize that I'm stuck at legacy tier upload speed. It was my mistake for not doing the research before making the server, but going to the Xfinity store today almost did me in.
I upgraded my modem to the XB8 in hopes it'll give me the upload speed I was looking for, but nope. I went back to the store and had a guy almost talking me into upgrading to the 2gb/s Internet line, and that it'll "double or triple" my upload speed.
I was smart enough to tell him to let me research it before I did that and I'm so glad because that asshole would've sold me a useless upgrade. I don't have any fiber optics in my area so no matter I wouldn't be getting more than 40mb/s upload.
It kills me that someone down the street is paying the same bill ass me from the same provider, yet I'm capped to legacy service because there's no competition around to force them to roll out midsplit. It feels like false advertisement and is scummy to say the least.
Update: So I got in touch with corporate after talking to the first commenter on here. I asked about the 2gb/s package and the higher upload speed with it and he said that I could upgrade to it. He got into my account and then told me that my 1300mb/s package is currently my highest offered Internet in my area. He said he would push my issue up the ladder(bs), and is giving me Now TV and an Internet extender for free, and lowered my bill $30 per month for 5 years. I took the offer because my town has been Xfinity's turf since I could remember, and I don't ever see competition coming so I have no choice but to stay with Xfinity.
I do want to say real quick though. Xfinity can shove the Internet extender where the sun don't shine. I need upload speed, not wider Internet reach for my small apartment, or whatever the hell Now TV is.
