comcast /vista compatibility

Jul 30, 2008 1:11AM PDT

Hello i can't get dsl in my area,but i can get comcast high speed.
My operating system is vista home premium 32bit.When i went to comcast the supported windows system went up to win.xp.Vista was not listed.I feel more confident asking here than comcast!I had comcast cable and changed to direct tv.I know that comcast is offering what they call double and triple play.The double play is high speed internet and phone service.Thanks for any advice.

Not be a problem...

Comcast High-Speed Internet Service does indeed support Windows Vista, so while some of their free or discounted third-party offers may not work with Vista, their service package itself does. (And note that you shouldn't need to install any modem software/driver package they give you either.)

Hope this helps,
John

The comcast site does mention a cable modem.

Comcast speed is a killer. . .

They've just upgraded to 15 Mb/s (for free). It kills DSL.

Got a link to that info ? I assume this is only available in certain areas.

It's now Time Warner/Road Runner. Just go to their site.
