Xfinity has had 3 outages this week in my area during working hours and now once on the weekend. This week has been the worst, but it has been bad now for 2-3 months. Thinking of switching to Verizon but Fios isn’t available in my area, only “high speed internet”. Does anyone else use this service, and is it good enough to get the job done? Or would I be better off sticking with Comcast and just hot spotting a couple hours a week when I need to?

Spectrum had the same issue but mine was closer to 5.

Why is your service going out? Is it communicated in advance? Why not call and tell them you’re thinking about leaving due to network reliability (you’ll get a wonderful offer)

Verizon “high speed internet” is over the old copper lines. Fios is great but since it’s not available, Comcast is likely the better option for your scenario OP

Do people really actively hop to different firms every 2-3 years to solely increase their compensation? I know it’s like a cheat code for higher salary, and everyone on this bowl talks about it, but curious if people actually do this as their career/compensation strategy. The cases I’ve seen were people move every couple years was more to them being pushed out rather than proactively chasing compensation increases. What have you seen or have you taken this approach?
