content: People hate them so much because dealing with Comcast is akin to dealing with a retarded loan shark that keeps changing the terms, who also gets off on your suffering.  Comcast knows just about anyone with half a brain will switch asap once there are other options available so they will fight tooth and nail to keep competition out.  Their cable business is dying and no on uses land lines or home phones anymore so thats pretty much done excepting businesses, so their only cash cow is internet.  The very day that a fiber option became available to my area I dropped comcast like the filthy festering sack of shit that it is and switched over.  It happened to be around the same price range as what I had been paying before, but even if it was 2-3x the price I would have still switched over just because fuck comcast.
