So here's the deal after the last few months of constant problems with my service from Comcast in the Baltimore region, i finally gave in and grabbed one of there cable modems to make sure mine was not faulty.
Well no surprise here it still didn't work unless it was hooked directly to the main line and even then it would loose the upstream link this has been the case for quite a while now.
Now here's where it gets interesting after im finally able to get enough signal for the modem to connect, i find that im presented with a redirect to comcast's activation system though firefox.
Now i have two options either download some bs comcast software to my system which has to install some crappy pc doctor crap or login as a technician, obviously i click the tech.
All i had to do was enter my account number and a Captcha verification and i was able to proceed to activate my modem.
That's when i stumbled on this
Now the entire time ive been dealing with comcast about this issue every time i call or had a tech out they said they had a good signal.
They could find no real problems the replaced wires that where not bad just to be sure, a few splitters added a signal booster and none of this remedied the problem.
Me thinks its time to contact the BBB
