I've found that Comcast service tends to be at different levels in each
community. I've found my service to be very reliable with very few
outages since it morphed into Comcast several years ago. I would prefer
that they open up port 25, but that would tend to let in a lot more
SPAM, so I just let it be. While FIOS is excellent, my bandwidth remains
well above 3Mbps down. It did take me overnight to download Hardy
Heron, but it appeared that the congestion was on the server side. 

ISP's like MV can give a lot of personal service, but there are just
a few of them left.
