    Yeah I’m super grateful for it. Before I was living at my current place, I lived at an apartment, and we could only get Comcast cable. The apartment building had an agreement with Comcast that ensured they were the only available internet provider.

    Leave it to Comcast to make FTTP suck.

    Wow, that’s bad. I didn’t know they did that.

    Comcast have a legit fiber network where I live (San Francisco Bay Area). It’s not even GPON or XGS-PON or anything like that where multiple houses share bandwidth; with Comcast’s version you get a dedicated fiber run from your house all the way to the headend, no multiplexing.

    You do pay a premium for it though. It was originally 2Gbps symmetric for $300/month, now it’s 6Gbps for the same price (with 10Gbps coming soon).
