Maybe it's coincidence; maybe not. But my Comcast wifi connection here
was the worst. The pits. I complained all the time to Comcast. They
kept assuring me there was nothing wrong with their system. I just
kept losing my connection because, well, there's a bathroom in the
house or I'm too far from the router [15-20 feet], or it's my
computer. And then something untoward happened--the FCC told them to
stop censoring their clients searches and, bingo!, strong connections
ever since. As I said maybe coincidence, maybe not.
