We have been having major problems with our ISP, which is RCN.

Just listened to my roomate be told by them that we have a virus and that's why our net connection is going down twenty times a day, and it couldn't possibly be a problem on their end. "There is no virus! I'm running Linux! I'm a trained professional!" says he. But they insist, it can't be that we need a new modem or that there's a network problem.

So. Does anybody have ComCast and want to tell me about it? Right now we have a package through RCN - local phone, cable tv, and cablemodem for around $100 a month. We'd want to switch to something comparable, if we can improve our reliability.

I have been using comcast for data and tv for years out here and have had few serious problems with them. The only time I ran into trouble with them was when my cable modem was flaky and having similar issues to the ones you describe with yours but at the time it only went wonky after it rained. That time we moved shortly after the problem started happening so I turned in the modem and got a new one for the new account.

I don't use comcast for phone, we don't have a land line just cell phones.
