Hello eveyone
I currently have Bellsouth DSL service in Miami, I am moving to the Atlanta area and found Comcast offers Phone and Internet service plus Cable TV( I have Direct TV now)
I am wondering how much value I can get if I switch from Bellsouth to Comcast. My DSL runs at 1.5 MB now and Cable advertizes 6MB service.
I have read about ping time issues and sharing service with my computers using a router might be an issue.
I have 3 PCs and a Laptop working happily with my Belkin router, which is connected to the DSL Westell modem. Obviously, I have to swap the DSL modem for a Cable modem, but not too happy with "renting" anything from anyone. So, I need your feed back. I game on one of my PCs, so the Ping issue kind of bothers me.
Should I keep bellsouth and Direct TV? Comcast package for everthing sounds good, but I have reservations about cable phone service.
Should I try to buy a router cable modem, or just a router and then try to use my Belkin router?
Anything else I am not considering?
Thank you
Daniel
