I’ve not had any problem with Comcast here.  I automatically got transferred a 
few years ago from RoadRunner to Comcast.  My Comcast speed is real good, no 
issues with RFI.  I use my own Motorola cable modem.

I thought that FIOS was Verizon-only and that Comcast was cable-only. Neither 
Verizon nor Comcast are in the area in which I live (this is Charter and AT&T 
territory), so I have no first-hand experience of either, but my wife had 
experience of Comcast in her former job and found them terrible to deal with. 
I've read that FIOS is excellent when it works but that customer service is 
terrible.

And then there was the time many years ago when on Long Island Verizon dug up 
one of their own cables which wasn't where their plans said it was. Of course 
they had redundant circuits -- but all in the same cable bundle.
