So why is anyone (Dave) buying their service?
I'm buying their service because it's the best service I can get here. (and it's significantly better than the best I could get in either Florida or DC, at least when I lived there) And it's cheaper by about 30% than what I had in Florida, though that was not a consideration, as my connectivity is my livelihood. As a bonus, for that 30% discount, I have more than twice the bandwidth and far, far better reliability. (I was on Sprint business class in Florida)
Eeeek. Sprint! The horror...
I am 100% happy with Comcast Business. They are a class act. (with the exception of that routing hole, which I will investigate!) Please keep in mind that this is NOT the same organization, business model, or staff as the consumer-grade shared cable network service. (There's fiber to the pole outside my building!)
You've just reminded me...a bunch of the fibre AT&T put down in the '80s...why is a lot of it still dark?

Hello!
That? It was supposed to be rolled into two things, I believe it
might have been part of a long distance roll out, and even fast
Internet access for those specialty houses.
If it had all been used...I wonder what the current US broadband situation would be like...
And guess who bought access to a lot of it?
Some crappy ISP that had no idea what to do with a huge amount of fibre?
Also, I knew Verizon acquired WorldCom...but I didn't know it became part of Verizon Business. Is Verizon business just as bad as all of Verizon's other garbage?

Have you checked spamhaus.org to see if your home IP is listed in their database as dynamic? It's quite easy to get this removed from their database, and quite a w mail servers use their list. I had my business-grade DSL IP listed with them and it was quite easy to have it removed.
No point in unlisting what will change after a short while. ;)
Just a suggestion.

Hello!
Dave when I offered my line of complaining and probably ranting and
definitely an illogical statement I was thinking of both consumer and
business ones and should have indicated what goes where. Sadly Cox
knows <Yiddish word meaning "nothing"> about both, and TWC almost
does, and AT&T is beginning to realize that really goofed by spinning
off their businesses where I am.
But you're still right.

Drat! Insert the word "they" into that complaint about AT&T.
