I would say in my area Comcast was HORRIBLE. Here their service was more than abysmal. 500ms latency and evening slowdowns to 400kbps were the norm along with the 30% "how dare you not have CATV" penalties they levied on me after they bought out ATTB. And when the service actually was half way decent there were the nastygrams for excessive use. I was told I was abusing the service yet they wouldn't define what constituted abuse. You all know the Comcast phantom cap drill. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with their TOS/AUP which stated that they get to define what constitutes abuse...but how about passing on that little bit of info so I know what to do? Jerks.
Oh well, thankfully Comcast recently traded our local cable system to Time Warner and overnight my bill dropped 33%. In addition, over the following few months speeds quadrupled to a rock solid 15000/2000 10ms and despite downloading many hundreds of gigabytes per month and hosting a server I never hear a peep from Time Warner. I'm also unaware of anyone being cancelled for excessive use on Roadrunner.
Good riddance to the jerkoffs at Comcast. Brian Roberts' low mileage leased BMW was a broken down pile of crap; a lemon's lemon.
Before ANYONE considers Comcast they should ignore all the reviews here as one area may be decent and the next (like mine) suck royal. Talk to your neighbors and see how they like their service. It may be okay so long as you don't actually use it.
