I agree that the Comcast cable service in D.C. is no good. They are slowly gettign better, but low-bandwidth HD broadcasts mean that they often break up (causing digital blockiness on occassion), the "OnDemand" feature shoudl really be called "OnOurWhim - IfYou'reLucky" because it only sometimes works and channels are annoyingly numbers (local channels start in the twenties).

The service in N. Va. was much better - better box, better customer support, better bandwidth, etc.

But the internet is really quite fast, which seems to be the main concern of the original post.
