Hardware I returned to Xfinity this afternoon. The Arris telephony modem was about 20 years old. The cable box / DVT was not much younger.

We dropped cable TV, VOIP, and stopped renting modems (bought my own Arris S33v3) very recently, saving hundreds of dollars per month on the bill.

Worst websites I visit:

Xfinity - For an internet provider, their web page is horrible. Slow, nearly impossible to manage my account online. I suspect they're doing so to push people to download their mobile app. It is better, but I don't want it on my phone.

Legacy Games - I visit rarely and only because I got free games, but same-site links open in new tabs/windows for no discernible reason, slow, and I get caught in loops where I can't get to any other page.

My son hooked up a ten-year-old laptop to our Wi-Fi. So *of course* Xfinity notified me that it's connected.

Used to be they would try to hide the fact that they were monitoring everything we do. Now they seem to be PROUD of it.

Wrote about my journey learning how to create an IoT VLAN on my home network using OPNsense and Omada AP's. Had to ask Xfinity to change my IPv6 prefix delegation to get things working. Phew!

The delays in accessing ESPN Unlimited for some cable and satellite subscribers has been a major frustration with the rollout of the Worldwide Leader’s streaming service. But the wait is finally over for at least one major distributor in...

I've had this goofy problem with my #unifi kit (original #UDM/white cylinder) where my speed drops from ~900MB to ~80MB while connected to it. I thought it was an #xfinity issue, but if I connect directly to their modem, I see the speeds I'm expecting. Sometimes rebooting the router will clear it up for a little while. Currently connecting via wifi, but I'd previously seen the same behavior on wired connections, too.

I've done some searching, but have yet to figure out the cause or a fix. Throwing this out to the nerdosphere to see if anyone has any ideas (i.e. boosts are appreciated!).
