I think I’m going to switch to AT&T fiber next. I’ve spoken to lots of people fed up with the constant service interruptions on Comcast and have been happy w AT&T.

The irony is we started with PacBell right at the end of the AT&T ownership period. In 1983 Pacific Telephone was owned 90% by AT&T. Then the breakup of AT&T occurred and Pacific Bell became one of the “Baby Bells.” Then it was Pacific Telesis and then ownership by SBC Communications. Then in 2005, SBC acquired what was left of AT&T. So we have come full circle with crappy Pacific Telephone / PacBell Service to crappy service by AT&T to Comcast’s crappy service and now I’m considering going back to AT&T (which I swore I would never do).

If this dalliance with AT&T fiber doesn’t pan out, I’ll ask Musk for a box.

The funny thing is that our California experience is in the heart of Silicon Valley where you expect things to work. At our North Idaho place, we have Spectrum (the old Charter Comms) and we would not expect good service here. But our Spectrum service is three to four times faster than Comcast AND is almost 100% rock solid reliable! Go figure.

Same situation for my own Spectrum service. No complaints.
