My net must know something's up. It loaded nice and fast this morning. I normally have to sit here and let it THINK about opening FireFox. The inside installation for my Fiber Optics isn't until this afternoon.

mine too.

Not mine! I had to reboot my modem again this morning. My inside install is tomorrow.

Here's a rare one, the guy was early...
he's hooking it up now.

[HonorH957]

Well, hope mine isn't too early in the morning, but another friend said they are extremely prompt.

[ScarlettP]

Woot! I got the POWER!

This is so cool. Normally, when I go to Mail.com, I can go pour a cup of coffee while it loads. Not anymore! Just *ding* there it is! So fun.

We did have to go to Wally World and buy a $50 router so my son's computer would work, but that's ok by me. That gives us pass work protected wireless to 400 feet @ 300 Mbps. I think that should be good enough for whatever game the boy plays that needs wireless. (We don't own a Laptop.)

And we've already found three more channels on the TV that we didn't have before. National Geographic, Disney and Soap Net. *giggle* Gotta love more shows for less money.

Well, I am awaiting EPB to show up now. Still a little early, so we'll see what time they get here.

[ScarlettP]

They came about 10 minutes EARLY to do ours. Poor guy had a hard time with my house. Had to call for back up. It took them over 2 hours to get it up and running. But then, my house is odd.

[HonorH957]

Well, I've already got garage door opened and area cleared if they need to get to where my line for my internet goes up through my bedroom floor. Hopefully they will be able to get to the other locations with no problem. 2 of them are outside the house and go through outside walls.

Well, I am now officially an EPBfi customer!!! And I'm thrilled with it.

The young man who did my install was very prompt and extremely thorough. He even cleaned up the mess Comcast had made when they ran my new digital cable and made it look so much better.

Comcast now has all their equipment back and when the lady asked why I was disconnecting my service with them, I told her that I was constantly having problems with their service and they continued to go up on my rates. She had no response for me!!

My up and down speeds are both 15.3. The tech was afraid that my NetGear router would cut the speed in half, but it surprised him. He has the same router. May eventually go get a LinkSys router. He said they work much better with the Fiber Optic internet.

Needless to say, I am a extremely satisfied EPBfi customer right now!!

I have comcast internet and use a Linksys router. I trust 'em since they're made by Cisco.

you will like 139 Sleuth & 140 Chiller. The On Demand still needs some help but all in all you will be pleased all the way around.

[Bob]

I went to comcast today around 1:00 and there was nobody in line, the place was empty. I said I wanted to discontinue my service, she didn't ask why..

[ScarlettP]

I've been seeing those Blue signs 'blooming' in yards all over the place.

[HonorH957]

Right now there are only 2 in our neighborhood, but I expect there will be more soon.

I am overjoyed with their service too. Had a question last night regarding hooking up my DVD player through the system. Sent an email to their support email address and had an answer back in about 15 minutes. Now that is customer service!!!

[joedog]

Honor, If you had called them they would have done the same thing over the phone.

HINT TO CALLING THEM:
DON'T PRESS ANY BUTTONS JUST HOLD THE LINE. they will roll you into the cue
