Improving Comcast modem signal

Guys, I have read most of the posts on this thread and I can relate to many of the problems that have been mentioned.  In a short phrase:  COMCAST SUCKS.  And in my case there is no alternative, AND they know it.

The only reason to put this out is to suggest that only government action can change a company like comcast. They have no real competition in many areas, they are arrogant, they do not care how difficult it is to even ask them a question or report a problem. The service and equipment that I used to get with comcast was better five years ago than it is now and the cost is higher. To top it off, every service company is hiding behind COVID as an excuse for poor customer relations. In most cases only the owner of a new home with FO to the house has a chance of improved service; the rest of us are SOL with GOV help.

Have you guys with bad internet looked into Starlink? It's Elon Musk's company.

Starlink is one of the solutions to address the current monopoly of ISPs. But the wait for gear and service is at least a year. 

Anyone have internet service from Ting?

@chungjh In general, Verizon’s FIOS speeds, latency and packet loss are not affected by what your neighbors are doing on their internet unlike the network at Comcast.

But before you go crazy changing things, keep in mind the design of Ethernet and the internet is that it will tolerate a fair amount of packet loss with only a loss in speed. There’s a ton of error correction built in at the physical and logical layers of the internet protocols, and music, even lossless music, is not taxing your internet connection compared to say, Netflix or Amazon Prime streaming 4K video.
