I don't know what the issues are with Comcast, but does that mean my 
connection will soon be broken? Why do some of you say you wouldn't use 
Comcast, just what are the issues? (I only signed up with them because 
my employer pays for it.) If you run commercial services, then I can see 
why there would be issues, but for a home office workstation, I've been 
pretty happy thus far.
