It’s nice to follow-up my previous post on Comcast and Verizon by reporting that they’ve both managed to get their acts together without any more effort on my part. My usual selection of cable channels is back, and the DSL is up and working.
Also, though I’ve swapped between DSL and cable at least once before in each direction, it’s still a bit of pain to reconfigure things. We’re not quite yet at the point where generic Internet comes out of the wall as water or electricity, no matter who’s providing it. If you could do that, and get decent pricing without committing to a one-year contract, we might see some real competition in high-speed Internet pricing.
