Maybe it just depends on the area I have had Comcast Business Class at my r=
esidences through the past 7 years with no problems at all. Infact my curr=
ent connection has almost a better uptime than our t1's at our office. Con=
nected (165d 13h 29m 37s) with 16/2 minimum speed. I personally would use =
Comcast over Global Crossing based on personal experience :P Ive got a /29=
awesome reliability and the name of my business rep who I can call when I =
need something. $99 a month doesn't seem bad for that.

I can't even get reliable home cable internet service from them. No way
I would ever consider using them for transit. I would only consider a
stub peer with them to help out the poor Comcast customers who are also
trying to get to my data centers.
