I wholeheartedly agree. I'm thankful that I turned out to actually have a decent 2nd option.

My main reason for writing this was to encourage others, especially in the bay area, to make sure they've really looked at all their options. Some might find a nice surprise like I did.

I did the same thing, and another quick plug for sonic since there are likely people here who would find this useful: I'm using their basic dsl service (single-line) and even that comes with a free static ip address. No more messing around with dynamic dns providers just to get ssh access to my desktop at home.

Just moved into a new place and were about to sign up for Comcast, but instead I think we will be going with Sonic!

Thanks!

Definitely give them a call to find out what sort of speeds you can expect in your particular situation. And never hesitate to call their tech support with questions or concern, they have been nothing short of amazing in my interactions with them.

I have them in Sacramento. Fantastic ISP, make sure you can get their Fusion service. You won't regret it.
