Comcast is fucking awesome. Very fast, reliable, and never break down. And customer care is like the shit (in a good way). They send you a friendly Comcast dude to fix things up if you screw up.

It's good for wireless also...their Modem is pretty stable. It has a rechargable battery that can provide power for up to 9 hours in the event of power failure.

They also got very good blocker tools and parental controls. And you can have up to 6 (not really sure) e-mail accounts I think.

That mask has nothing to do with that. If you notice, that's one of the shortcut things that open up an IM window with that person.

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

I don't think anyone here can really tell you what a good ISP is. In reality, it totally depends on the area in which you live. Comcast may be good in one area, and their service may suck in another. Although you can use the company as a rule of thumb, because truly some ISP's are just better than others. I would say either go for Comcast or Qwest myself. I have Qwest, and my internet never really goes down and the speed is decent.

The topic title says "Whats a good ISP", Bethere is a good ISP, I didn't read Vikings post because I put him on ignore. Wink

Road Runner sucks. But sadly it is really the only choice here because Time Warner has a monoply going strong in my area.

I'm on Bulldog DSL atm and it's alright, apart from the price. I'm currently fishing out £41 a month for 8mbit down (which i'm only getting 5-6 of) and 500kbit up (which i'm getting just under 600 of).

I was looking at Bethere's speeds and prices a while ago, just never got round to phoning them.
