RE: [PLUG] Comcast@Home?


</rant on>

My experience has been that while I live in the 5th or 6th largest city
in this country, I still can't get cable internet access because the
cable monopoly seems to feel that it's not a priority to bring service
to my zip code.  So it's DSL for me.

Does anyone have experience with cable internet access around here?  I
live in Media, I guess I would get it from Comcast@Home were I to get
it.  I just moved across the hall to a larger apartment and I'm hearing
from Speakeasy (whose service I'm *very* satisfied with) that it'll
probably be two months before I get hooked up.  (Wait 30 days or until
my first phone bill comes before I can even *place* the order, then
another 2-3 weeks (yeah right, I'll believe it when I see it) for the
install.)

I'm about to the point of agreeing with a co-worker that DSL is just not
worth the hassle.  I'm investigating the possibility of cable, and I'm
interested to hear what others here think of it.
