Comcast

So I'm thinking I will sign up for comcast, despite my previous reservations. It just doesn't make financial sense any other way.

We've got them, since it was only $3 more per month to have Comcast internet + basic cable (we didn't use the cable before), than Qwest DSL. We had no choice in Magnolia since the DSL didn't make it to our house with a usable signal. In Ballard I think the signal would be ok but I'm not sure our rabbit ears would get a good TV signal, so the cable is marginally worth it so we can have PBS Kids in the mornings.

So far they don't suck more than anyone else.

It's comcast or dialup at our new place. (FIOS is in the nearby area though, hoping it continues its spread...) We are a bit far out, but birdsong and creek babble is a nice change from sirens and drunken collegiate shouting.

Getting it installed was a bit of a clusterfuck but its been running well enough since (we use it probably close to 13-14 hours a day, given telecommuting and private use). You'll probably want some way to track your usage, apparently they start getting snarly about bw usage around 250 GB/mo.

Hm, time to install snmpd and some alert software, perhaps.
