YMMV in terms of reliability. In my experience with Comcast there was an unacceptable frequency of service outages and network problems, which I'm not encountering with Speakeasy. This all depends on where you are located, your cable and/or copper setup, etc. What's most unacceptable about Comcast is the way they feel they can control a customer's internet service (even in ways that conflict with what the customer is supposedly paying for) while constantly changing their network management policies (bandwidth shaping, port blocking, etc.), all of which goes undisclosed to the customer. I couldn't continue to give my money to a company that so blatantly disregards its customers. With an ISP, I expect full disclosure of their network policies, and to pay for packets to go back and forth at a certain speed on any port, and no funny stuff in between. The closest I've come to this is Speakeasy. Of course this all depends on what you are doing with your internet connection... -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
