They are quite different; they don't even share a network infrastructure. Well, the business side is better, for what I understand here (in the north west,) many businesses use comcast business as backup, the primaries differ based on each choices. I don't know of any small company here using comcast as primary, however may be wrong for lack of data, there may be some, they (cable companies) lament too low business adoption, but from the other (business clients) side there are fears mainly of security and continuity of service. If you have redundant fibers to your door, you may be better off using comcast, since I read somewhere that getting fiber to the premises with ILEC may prevent you to revert back to copper in the future. Well like I said, I'm very happy with them, and I am one of the few American consumers who is actually difficult to please. This is the best service I've had since the 1990s, when the guys staffing my connection's NOC were hired and managed by ME, and I had enable access to the routers and root on the nameservers. Comcast-wise, if there's a network peering issue, like reaching Peter's part of the world, I will ask them about it when I have a chance. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
