I have had three cable companies where I live in the last 15 years. I definitely think Comcast has been the best out of the three. That is not saying much but at least Comcast has done me right with broadband. I would never consider them for Phone or TV service. But that's another story. For the money it beats the crap out of DSL service around here and the only other option has been a couple Wireless services that have cropped up in the last year or so. Even then they are just faster then DSL. Unless Fiber optics comes around (which I doubt) I think Cable broadband will be it for speed for some time to come.
