Hi. I just started using Comcast in early August. I had to learn about
DHCP and I can't use there web sight in Linux, but I like the service.
I've been having problems with the Cable modem but they're working on it.
I had DSL with bellsouth 2 years ago. I can't really compare them
because I was using Windows 95 back then. Bellsouth changed my IP every
3 days.
