"So, the question will become, which is better - an arrogant local ISP that is overpriced, or Comcast? hmmmm...."
LOL, I think they are one in the same.:) No doubt Comcast is like the Ike Turner of ISP's. They treat you so good that you let down your guard and then next thing you know you've had the crap beat out of you and you're on a stage singing Proud Mary.
I spent 6 months begging Comcast to do something with the infrastructure in our neighborhood. There mode of operation isn't to acknowledge a problem and then seek to correct it. Their primary goal is to find some way to blame your computer. I had a repair guy standing in my home office with 4 computers running various OS' trying to blame my "Computer" (yes singular because he didn't notice the other 3)Finally I came to the conclusion that it was pure insanity to beg someone to be their customer. Fortunately I had options unlike a lot of people that live and work in rural areas.
Its really sad, because they have a lot of potential as a company and I would have preferred to keep them, they *ARE* faster than DSL when they behave. But when they don't its like using dial up.
Well they desperately need to do something to improve customer service because as it is I would rather have sharp pens shoved under my finger nails than go back to that nightmarish cavalcade of misery and grief that is Comcast.
