At first, this seems excessive, but if I eliminate AT&T and DISH this is not bad. 

My office has Xfinity now. We have 4 phones, Internet, and even TV. It has been down in the past. I am currently experiencing a problem where we will lose internet under high traffic. Comcast checks modem and it seems fine , says my network. I say network is fine, modem is flaky. 

Luckily I have a new guy working on it and this is what I told him: 

"Comcast says it is me. I say it is them. You have to do what I've been doing for years: 'figure this sh*t out'" 

I don't know about you guys, but I've learned that I don't have the luxury others have of "not knowing". I'm a wizard in their eyes. Ugh.
