How reliable is it now that you found a good connection? Does it disconnect often? I work from home so it has to be pretty reliable.

People stop paying attention after 2 years and reading the initial contract. If they're going to change the contract on me without notice, it's pretty normal for people not to read the fine print. But go ahead and act superior, it's a good look.

Yeah, still not available on the peninsula. Been checking every few months since I got here. It seems like we're the only zip code in bmore that doesn't have it!

Thanks for the advice, I'll give that a try.
As far as prices go, apparently verizon fios charges $45 or $35 if you're a mobile customer.

Hmm ok. At this point it may even be worth it to just get both for a month and cancel one or the other depending on how 5G goes. I just don't want to cancel comcast now only to find out 5G is no good for me.

It's ridiculous that it's legal and has been going on for so long.

Yeah it's just I don't know how it is in my specific location since it depends on proximity to a 5G tower. I'm asking around to see if anyone has it near me. I work from home 80% of the time so I need it to be reliable. One thing about comcast, as evil as they are with price gouging, I've literally never had an issue with outages or reliability. I know many other people have, so maybe I'm lucky I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know, it's not so much the equipment I'm worried about. I'm using the same modem I've used for years (at least 7?) and my speed is fine. I don't game or anything but I do stream netflix/whatever but I've never had an issue with speed or reliability (surprisingly). I wouldn't worry about getting the best modem. I think you may only have to worry about it if you need a ton of bandwidth, like you have many household members and/or gamers.

Just looked at the site. It's supposedly free. What's the catch?

Oh I'm going to call tomorrow for sure. I just need to remember to meditate because I think they're allowed to hang up on me if I curse.

I've been one on and off for years. Sometimes lived in places where FiOS was available, sometimes not. This is the most egregiously they've ever fucked me.

I mean I remember when it came out and they seemed to be pretty popular since you didn't have to worry about the sensor setup and all that crap with the first one. I bet a lot of people are pissed (if it didn't already break, that is).

I don't think that's true at all.
