Your Internet speed is very slow

Your Internet download speed is very slow. Web browsing should work, but videos could load slowly.

No I will keep it. I actually skipped 8, while I was in my Ubuntu days and have never used it.
I don't actually remember what changed, to be honest.
you really do get used to it
except every now and then that damn Cortana app starts up, like what the hell, I can't even think of a single reason to use it

You can always tell them you're moving where they don't offer service... that has worked for me in the past. But be ready with an address that is actually out of their service area :wink:

Wow, I thought I had it bad. Techs spent two days out here to upgrade my old ass house to fiber (they did so with the whole town, but the "one hour" fix turned into two days. The punchline? We went from 20mbps to 25. And we're still paying $90 a month for that privilege.

I actually do use it on occasion, But not enough to justify its existence, it is more like a novelty.

TY I'm switching on monday to century link if this isn't fixed by then. it won't work to tell them I need out of my contract because they aren't providing what they said they would provide? they say it's high speed internet. it's not, I can't watch tv or even read the news.

Comcast is basically run by mobsters. They don't give two shits as long as they get your money. And they'll try to bribe you into staying, but don't fall for it. I'm locked in with them because only one other cable provider is even legally allowed to do business in my area because of the monopoly Comcast got in my neighborhood. Get out while you can.

I would try that route first honestly... but then they'll make you have a service technician come out several times. And if they're like the one in my area they'll charge $50 just for the tech to come out regardless of if they actually do anything or not. That's just been my experience...
