I'm not sure where you live, but where I currently live, scheduling an appointment and visiting the DMV is actually a pretty stress-free and easy task to take care of.

I also happen to live in a city with a municipal ISP that provides 1GB/s fiber service to most of our city. It's the best ISP I've ever had in terms of service and even customer service. Establishing my account was painless, the in-home install was free and scheduled right away. The one time I've had to call their customer service, I got to talk to a live competent person right away too. Never had service like that with Comcast. I imagine I'm not alone with this experience.
