Comcast knows they've got Internet users by the ba--s here. They've raised Internet rates twice in the last 6 months and are raising rates again next month.
The choices here are Comcast at 8-12MB/s vs Verizon DSL at .5-1Mb/s.
I could (and did) cancel Comcast cable with no qualms thanks to OTA digital and Hulu, but there's no f-ing way I'm going with Verizon for Internet.
Given that in some places they pay about half what I'm paying Comcast and get 1Gbps Internet access (notably Hong Kong, according to this morning's news) this is a pretty sorry state of affairs.
