Absolutely not. I can't stand Comcast. I stuck with piss-poor Speakeasy DSL for years and then even pisser poorer Clear for a year (they suckered me in then moved the tower! Summer speeds sucked, only when the leaves came down did speeds return) sheerly because I despise Comcast. I'm against go government interference, pure and simple, and I've put my money (and bandwidth) where my mouth is to date. -- Doug Stewart On Dec 6, 2010, at 5:33 PM, Art Alexion <arthur@alexion.com> wrote: > On Monday, December 06, 2010 04:18:39 pm Doug Stewart wrote: >> On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 4:01 PM, Claude M.
