We have both Comcast and AT&T lines here, 3MB service on each. The
AT&T(BellSouth) DSL is far more reliable for us than the Comcast has
been, mostly due to faulty equipment in our 'grid square.' Our BellSouth

Here is the trick to getting a lower bill. I just did this a couple months
ago.
Call Comcast and ask for the customer retention dept. They will try to
argue with you and see if they can help you with your problem. Stick to
