I ssuspect the reliability of Comcast relies heavily on who they bought
out to get coverage in that area. I originally had AT&T Broadband, which
worked well. Comcast bought that up, and it continued to work well. I
know other people who had Adelphia, which was terrible, and when Comcast
bought them up it continued to be terrible.

One of the problems with DSL ISP, regardless of how poor/great the
individual ISP is, they're still at the mercy of the phone company to
run the lines and make sure they're clean. If you have terrible phone
lines, MV can't really help you.
