Both then it is a merger....I think it will createDoes this mean the netcode is EAs fault or Comcasts fault now?
I am so happy for being European. I have heard horrible things of that company.Fuck off Comcast.

No we do not have data caps and the internet is really fast. We have 5 ISP's all fighting for our money and this is on a small country (portugal)Better them than Cox, I guess
Not because Cox is faultless but because if any ISP's quality is gonna drop due to a merger like this I'd rather it be the one that already seems to be the worst of the two.
You guys don't even have data caps, do you? Lucky bastards
Here in Spain (Europe, but almost Africa in many ways) I have a ~$100/month bundle that pretty likely isn't the best deal available here and includes:You guys don't even have data caps, do you? Lucky bastards
For $100/month you wouldn't get close to 1gbps and not even fiber here in America from Comcast.I have no idea of what Comcast is. I assume should be a company from USA but not related to gaming at all.
Here in Spain (Europe, but almost Africa in many ways) I have a ~$100/month bundle that pretty likely isn't the best deal available here and includes:
- 1Gbps fiber internet at home with no data cap
- Home telephone line with unlimited nationwide calls (including mobile)
- Two 4G smartphone lines with no data cap and unlimited nationwide calls (including mobile)
- Netflix (not sure but I think it was 2 years)
- Amazon Video (not sure but I think it was 2 years)
- All soccer (top sport here) PPV
- Wifi6 router (they gave me a wifi5 one but recently saw they had a wifi6, called them and gave me the wifi6 one for free, only paying the postman)
You still have data caps in the US? In 2022? In times of 4k streaming?You guys don't even have data caps, do you? Lucky bastards

How can you use game streaming services like Xbox or Stadia without reaching the caps?
Att has gigabit for 80.just brought my xfinity bill down 80$ and only paying like 40$ for 100mbit, no tv of course.
You are all replying like it's gonna happen when the article is about how it didn't.
Well, to be fair I have to mention that I live next to a major city. In the countryside there is no fiber coverage.Man, stuff like this makes me hate American internet ISPs that much more. In my area for example, the only way you can get 1Gbps is through Cox, even though the city literally next door can get it with a completely different ISP provider.
There's thankfully some competition coming in that department; current plan isn't terrible (150 Mbps 1.28 TB data cap) but until the node was replaced (which we had to call and speak with a supervisor directly to even find out was the actual issue), connectivity was degrading month over month. Has been much better since then but got a feeling it'll only be sometime in Summer another call will have to be made for the same issue.
All that said it's nice we got a Wifi6 router for no extra fee, so at least there is some parity there . Also tbh the data cap hasn't been a much a problem, it's just annoying that's something to always take into consideration (and unused data doesn't roll over but that is kind of the norm with non-cellular service in America).

Comcast has a monopoly on a ton of rural/suburban/non-city areas to a scary degree. When you're living in those areas, the options aside from Comcast are usually older companies and satellite/DSL speeds you'd see that were popular in 1995-2005. It makes Comcast end up being the only choice for a mere 800mbps to 1gbps at best for 100 dollars or more. There's more to this, like how they've made it a pain in the ass for companies like google to try and offer fiber in certain areas, and how they pretty much line the pockets of certain politicians so that they won't allow other companies to offer better for less, but that's a conversation for a different day. A part of me was hoping that the slow death of cable would make a big dent, but they've adapted fast enough around it to where it's barely a scratch.I am so happy for being European. I have heard horrible things of that company.
MS could have deciomated the gaming market long time ago, if they actually cared about xbox.This is what Microsoft means when they mean competition.
Spectrum is good. 400mb unlimited for $100.If you guys think Comcast is bad, wait until you try Spectrum.
I pay $90 for trash tier 400 down 20up. I came from gigabit FiOS at $65.Spectrum is good. 400mb unlimited for $100.
now I feel like i am getting ripped.I pay $90 for trash tier 400 down 20up. I came from gigabit FiOS at $65.
Yea, Verizon is the only ISP I have ever seen with decent prices. They're still scummy though, you can pay $55 for 50/50, or $65 for gig/gig. I think even after the 2 year contract price it's like $80 if you don't negotiate it back down.now I feel like i am getting ripped.
I got big family. So that unlimited plan is the only reason why I have spectrum. Plus, I had them since 2014.Yea, Verizon is the only ISP I have ever seen with decent prices.
