Don't they limit you on bandwidth per month?


Or "BLOCK" certain websites like bittorrents?

I used to live in North Alabama (Huntsville area). Comcast is great and normally has good speeds, but I've had a lot of random and unexplainable downtime from them. I still like them because their 3 for $100/month deal was great.

As for bellsouth, they are just plain crap. Horrible speeds altogether, its basically just a step up from dial-up.

They don't block anything or limit anything where I live. I have had them for a few years and love it. DSL will most likely be much slower then cable, if you can handle that then the dsl will probably be cheaper.

comcast is great except when we had a power outage but other then that it's blazing :up:

I live in North Alabama. So I imagine comcast should be good huh?

Verizon FIOS not an option?

Not in my area

I'd go back to dial-up or tin cans and a string before I ever gave Comsuck one copper cent. That is the most unorganized and incapable company that I have done business with.

Bellsouth is the next best thing that is available to me. DSL is limited to hub area-closeness proximity.

I vote Bellsouth from personal experience with both.

Just waiting on Verizon FiOS here in Podunk, TN.

I have had both Bellsouth and Comcast.

With Comcast, I had nothing but problems, constant outages.

Bellsouth is really good (I have the 6.0 speed). I have them now. Very fast (although Comcast is a little faster) and very reliable (no outages).

Bellsouth doesn't block anything; Comcast doesn't block anything but they have recently severely slowed p2p and some bit torrent (google search)

I would recomment Bellsouth over Comcast

Unless you have experienced this directly then it's not an issue, I have had them for years and they block or slowdown nothing...
