Re: The Problem Isn't Price.....
Hey Jimbo,
Here in Hercules(North of you by 16-20 miles) there is neither FiOS or Uverse.
Comcast upgraded me to Blast anyways.
The myth that one has to be served by one of "the other guys" is false.
Best I could hope for here besides Comcast would be AT&T DSL 6mbps if I am close enough... crapshoot, huh?
If Comcast is serving your area, and Blast is not available yet, you can get their 8mbps service. 
... and since there is no contract, you can get it and try it without worry of any ETF if you decide to drop it.
Hope This Helps!

| Thanks Dadkins,
I had Comcast for cable service and all i ever got was grief and rate hikes and less and less form ore and more. I'm about ready to give it a try but am nervous about their performance. My next door neighbor has them and isn't too thrilled with the reliability uptime and customer support.
I "have" to have a internet connection or I'm out of a job so playing re-provision roulette with the telcos/ISPs makes me nervous in this economy. I might be forced to go Comcast if ELNK continues to degrade. |

| You are using a residential class service for work?
Cable TV gets increases all the time - so does Sat.
HSI has been $42.95* for at least the 5 years I have had it.
*I did opt for the $10 extra for speed(now at 16mbps) so mine is $52.95. I also have TV and CDV so HSI is discounted $14.
Support is fine here, the few times I have needed it.
One CSR did bork the Blast upgrade but a call straightened it out. 
Good luck!

| I'm jealous- just kidding- Yeah I have to opt for residential because of my cheap-ass company is picking up the bilol (or at least part of it) Covad offers 1.5 synchronous for about 200.00 a month for business class and is about the best price for DSL. Even with its issues Comcast is looking better and better! |
