Comcast is under no obligation to help me with my internal network problems, although the problems suddenly appeared in October 2016. In this sense, it's my responsibility to solve the internal problems of my network, even though they didn't exist the previous 15 years. Except for the 4 months Jan-Apr 2017 where my router showed absolutely zero DoS attacks, my usage has been Nov 1700gb, Dec 1300gb, Jan 1gb, Feb 1gb, Mar 1gb, Apr 19gb, may 776gb June 1031gb July 732gb. I have not connected for 1 week. But i will refuse to pay for another overage. Except for my two Neighbors who work for Comcast, the rest have left for the competitors. I am one of the few on my block who remains. For now. AWB
your own router or Comcast?
Thank you for asking that question. I received an Arris from Comcast and used that in November 1700 GB and December 1300 GB. I purchased my own Arris AR TG862G in December and changed it to bridge mode, returning to my Netgear c3700-100NAS I had purchased in November 2014. So no issues until May when my usage seemed to escalate and I started to receive extranneous DoS attacks in my log and the usage escalated to 776 GB. In June after averaging 40GB per day in the first 10 days, I have been using my device as a toaster. Unfortunately I left the toaster connected on June 30 and went 6 GB over. So I had to pay for overage. It's not going to happen again. I unplug the devices from the network until they positively, absolutely need to be connected. I average 40 GB per 64-6 hours usage. 1 device. I'm stuck at 732, and will not reconnect until I need it or Tuesday August 1. In the meantime, I will be testing the throughput from the devices. Too many times I have talked to "tech support", "higher level tech support", "call these experts", to no avail. It is not Comcast's job to troubleshoot my internal network anyway. When I find the problem, I will share it with the forum. AWB
