Back to the Comcast issue.......what you are seeing is a combination of 1) a commercial for-profit entity (Comcast) not spending money to upgrade what many have called an antiquated cable system in San Jose.....and 2) people accepting the fact that the service sucks, but still buying it anyway. Where's the initiative for Comcast to improve anything, if people buy it anyway ? Now if Comcast lost 50% of it's broadband subscribers, then it would have no choice but to improve.
