Default *** vs. COMCAST....what's better

What's up Mid A. I figured since I talk to you guys the most, I'd ask you.

I'm making a move to NOVA soon. I live in MD now and didn't have many options where I live in silver spring so I went with Comcast. I couldn't get verizon FIOS or ***. I'm contemplating switching to ***. Who in NoVA uses *** and how do they like it? Has anyone switched from COMCAST to ***? Now I am speaking about GREAT internet service and cable (HD preferably) I am willing to pay. And if you are comfy could you tell me what you pay for your current cable setup?

BTW I can't get FIOS in the area of Reston I am moving to.

I worked for ***, they are good as far as service but customer service can bite. Comcast blows!

I'm glad you guys are feeling how I am feeling about COMCAST. There is so much choppiness in the cable and sometime the internet connection just drops. It's like WTF man.

Ahh ic. But I dont pay for my internet service Its more like a blackbox for the comcast cable modem. Its a regular modem but programmed to work anywhere theres a signal. So all you do is just get basic cable $13/month and free cable modem
Just food for thought.

It's not avail here in MD. I'm moving to NoVa, so they have *** in alot of places out there. I've been asking around and seems like if I can get ***, that might be the deal.

Comcast is foul! It took them 2 years and multiple visits to finally acknowledge that I did not have "bad" wiring in my townhouse but it was bad wiring from them. Everytime it would rain my HD and cable internet would get knocked out. Needless to say I am still waiting for my refund for all of the lost service time.

*** is good =D. I moved out my old apt and forgot to cancel the cable until the 3rd month. I called the ***, they gave me 3 months service fee back =D
