The issue is that most people can't change off of it due to a lack of competing service providers.


When I moved to Daly City my options were either Comcast or DSL. I picked DSL (w/ Sonic), at significantly slower speeds. Sonic's DSL is just resold AT&T DSL, which I also hate, but I hate Comcast more.

If my only options were Comcast or dial-up, I'd probably still pick dial-up.


I would love to see the news story about Comcast having fewer remaining subscribers than the DSL provider...

still wouldn't make them change their practices, I believe they are too far corrupted to ever 'heal', but it would be hilarious if they gave up serving an area because it wasn't economically viable anymore.


Well a man can dream, right? :)
