Re: You're joking right?

Well one, just out of curiosity, I must know if you work for Comcast.

Secondly, I'm confused. You suggest we can't fight crime, have good schools, and expect decent customer service at the same time? Is there some odd mutual exclusive science at work here that wasn't taught in Physics?

Right or Wrong, financially sound or not, if the service was decent, you wouldn't see this reaction from the local governments. You're raging against the effect in the cause and effect relationship here.

No, I don't work for Comcast.

A government can do all these things, provided there is funding for them. My point is that in these economic times, tax revenue isn't what it used to be. Essentially, there's less money to go around to pay for the things that governments want or need to do. In such a situation, government should focus on what is important and not deal with the rest.

Politicians loved to be seen as "doing something" about a given problem, no matter what it happens to be, even if "nothing" gets done. I'd also wager to say that service isn't as bad as it seems to be. IMO, if I based my decision to get broadband just on reading the stuff I read here about Comcast, I would not have become a subscriber. Clearly the service is satisfactory to enough people that they continue to send Comcast checks every month. That said, a bunch of dissatisfied customers canceling will send Comcast a much stronger message than some make-work government bureaucracy.
