I NEVER want to end up in a service region where Comcastic has a monopoly,... or Verizon or Time Warner (Comcastic merger?!), for that matter. I've had RCN,... but only in a region where they had stiff competition. They all lie, cheat, steal, bribe,... and that's when they are behaving themselves...

I took a survey a year or so ago where they asked my opinion of the major service providers and asked which was the best. I told them that of their options, AT&T was the best. They then asked my opinion of AT&T, which can best be summarized as "not worth the powder to blow them to..." :)

Not to worry, jdixon -- I hear that ammonium-based fertilizer leavened with a dash of diesel fuel is a lot cheaper, and more effective :P.
