Moving into a new place and the building has the option of either one. I've got Comcast now and while I hate them with a passion, they've got the better station line-up and more HD offerings I believe.

Just thought I'd see what anyone with Broadstripe thinks of their service.

Broadstripe sucks big time. It used to be Millenium Digital Media and they sucked then too. Here at Esplanade Condos there are some buildings that have comcast exclusive and some that had broadstrip exclusive. But Verizon is going to come in soon and install FiOS. FiOS is the BEST way to go.

Default I would love to get FiOS, but don't think that will be an option any time soon

unless I buy a condo, get on the board and convince them to give up comcast or broadstripe.

Guess I'll be going the comcast for the foreseeable future.

Default I'll look into it. Do you use the Qwest DSL for internet?

I've only heard bad things about DSL

Default unfortunately my only option is DSL and no, it's not through Qwest. It is through some no name

company that we get out in my area FTL.

I'm thinking of getting ClearWire (my neighbor has it and seems to like it)
