Adelphia Broadband is Crap

June 24, 2005

I recently canceled my DSL and got Adelphia high speed internet access.

It was a complete disaster. Adelphia is pathetic. It’s super slow and between the hours of 6pm and 1am. It’s not even usable.

The problem is that each area is controlled by a server and if that server gets bogged down, it grinds to a halt. It makes sense that around 6pm, people get off work and go home and get online.

My office which is a few miles from my home has the exact same pattern. After 6pm, don’t even bother using it, it’s super slow. Slower than a 300bps modem. I can’t believe these companies think this is acceptable.

I just ordered DSL again and canceled Adelphia. Beware of Adelphia cable, it’s a scam.
