They suck equally well. I'm not in their area, but from news reports they
have done lots of restrictions on what people can receive via the Internet.
When there were complaints to the FCC about their restrictions, the FCC
held a hearing. Comcast filled the room with paid, non-interested people
to sleep through it and prevented anyone with a real complaint from getting
into the hearing room.

Anyone who uses them is asking for trouble.

Also, our absolute idiots in congress have just given bush the go ahead to
allow AT&T and others the freedom to spy on any of their customers
ILLEGALLY without having to answer for it.
