Yeah, definitely shit list.

After going back and forth a few times, Comcast is definitely better than centrylink for internets. DirectTV is fantastic if you feel like spending $100+ on your TV every month. Comcast is pretty good if you feel like spending less than $50 for TV and Internet every month. When I move back to CA next year, I'll gladly be using Comcast for TV and Internet. We don't want much TV, but good internet is important to me.

Wow. It's 52* and overcast in Michigan right now. This was my first year in Michigan without a white Christmas.

We've had the exact opposite, here. When Comcast's internet is good, it's really really good- but when it's bad, it's horrid. They sent a tech out to test the signal, and he couldn't believe we were getting -anything- (much less TV and internet.) He ran all new cable, replaced all our equipment, fixed a bug that had been plaguing us since 2009 and it actually worked...for three weeks. Then internet began flaking again. On Demand flailed and choked every time we used it. We had to keep resetting the %$@# modem. And now, to add insult to injury, they've jacked up their prices. Time to clean house.

Bummer. With comcast, when I had their 50Mb package, I was getting exactly 50.0Mb all the time, 24/7. Maybe I was lucky. With centrylink, you share the connection with your neighbors, so when I get home from work, it is slowing than paint drying because everyone else also just got home from work and wants internet.

What is the difference between a moderator and a super moderator? And how/why is Lobo listed under both? [Dunno]

I noticed a few mods have 'retired' over the past few months.

I'm not sure what they did, but we haven't had that problem with Centurylink. Comcast was the one that bogs down when everyone's on the net at the same time.

Did you guys know there are articles and blogs and groups and all kinds of crap besides the forum? I've never really clicked around up at the top of the screen before.

Haha yep. There's also a calendar with everyone's birthday on it.
