Just wanted to mention I have been very happy with my comcast DSL and phone service.  Outages are infrequent and fixed readily.  (However I probably would not have their phone service if I didn't have a cell bc of the occasional outage.)

In the afternoon/evening the signal is there, but quite weak, slow and, sometimes, disappearing completely. That makes connections to internet quite frustrating... Any input from FIOS subscribers if the system is really worth to have internet access? Thanks!

The outage lasted a week, from 2:00PM Tuesday, December 30 to 1:00AM Wednesday, January 7. Some folks were credited a full month of phone and DSL, others were credited $25. Bob at Channel 4’s “Call for Action” was a big help, too.   Thanks.   Louis Brown Cordova Rd   -----Inline Attachment Follows----- -- <http://lists.highlandparkpa.com/mailman/listinfo/neighborhood>
