If you are like most Americans, you live in a city or region with a choice of two home landline Internet service providers, if that. Over here in my corner of the Ars Orbiting HQ—San Francisco, California—I often wonder whether to switch from my AT&T DSL "up to 3 Mbps" plan to Comcast.
I get the itch to do this during periods when my AT&T connection inexplicably needs to be restarted every day for about a week, then goes back to performing smoothly for no identifiable reason. This has happened twice over the last five years.
Or I get into a switchy mood whenever I see one of those old Comcast TV ads making fun of "Bill and Karolyn Slowsky"—the DSL subscribing turtles who always offer some lame excuse for slow Internet. We're not slowpokes, they invariably insist, we just love the suspense of waiting for downloads. "Fast—it's not for everyone," is Comcast's spin on these hapless reptiles.
