PacBell

Beats the hell out of Verizion. At least my service stays up in the rain. On the East coast everytime it rained my service would go out. When I moved out west I did'nt even consider them.

Comcast

My only other option is Verizon, they are cheaper but slower. Now if FIOS shows up I will switch to Verizon in a heartbeat.

Comcast
$0 (paid by other household members, $40 I think)
9 (I work nights mostly and they do all thier upgrades late night so sometimes I lose connection, but I guess that is when it effects the least amount of people.)
No other high speed options in my neighbor hood.

Comcast Professional Cable
I pay $75/mo. But I have the 6MBit service. I used to have two 6MBit modems, and pay $120/Mo. But I got rid of the dual-wan router, and to tell the truth I really don't see much of a difference, except when my FreeBSD systems are CVSing.

I give it a 6. I used to have Dual ISDN, that was too much $$ and was slower than cable. DSL sucks, will never use it. Dialup is too slow. My work reimburses me for my home internet because I use it to work from home when there is bad weather, or I just don't feel like coming into the office. So really I don't pay for the service and I don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

However I do have to say, without a doubt. Comcast is fast as hell. I was downloading the latest build of Gentoo linux iso's at about 700-800Kbit/s. I remember waiting DAYS to download an ISO. Now I go get coffee and its freaking DONE! I LOVE IT. I love bandwidth, its so choice, if you have the means I highly reccomend picking some up.

Cox Cable.
$40???? per month (roommate pays it)
10
Wicked fast, I usually get more than 1mb/sec on any respectable download server. Close to 6mb/sec from gamespy. Even though my ip address CAN change, it hasn't in the 8 months since I got it. And they have like zero downtime.

What's a landline phone? I haven't had one of those for close to six years.

For the record I'm on Comcast like many others --same price etc. Rating? can't say. I have no comparison. But I'm happy with the service and tech support, although I usually solve my connection problems before they do. Overall, if I had to choose maybe a 7.

XDUDE always talks as if he has money to flush down the toilet. I'm not saying he doesn't, but it sure does look suspicious.
