Comcast has actually been pretty good for me. If you want piss poor service try Media Com. I have them as my only choice at my beach property. Absolutely the worst. Constant drop outs as evidenced by the email alerts I get from the Honeywell Connected Thermostat. Skype calls have been unstable. And my corporate VPN has trouble staying up there.
With the stuff I run out of my house, I'm surprised Comcast hasn't sent me a nasty letter asking what the heck I'm doing from my residential circuit. I have a constant VPN tunnel running between my beach property to my home providing VoIP. I constantly connect into my home network from remote locations using my SSL VPN system. I had a web server running for while which I only recently shut down. And then all the various virtual machines pulling data from various sources on the Internet. The only thing I knock Comcast on is their restriction on purchasing static IPs. I have to change over to business class service which more than doubles what I pay now depending on the level of speed I select. Oh and the fact they're not following FIOS and providing symmetrical service.
