The connectivity being solid is a big plus. I've had 3 outages in 10 years with comcast. One was my typo in the firewall and their engineer sat on the phone testing packets with me. The second was a storm that dropped a tree across wires ripping down everything. The last one was last week. No idea what that was. I called, they beat the sla by an hour. Something on their end. In fact, the automated calling process informed me they knew of an outage impacting my service as soon as I connected. Got the "all clear" text about 3 hours later.

I will pursue this with more data from at&t. It's sounding like a decent move.
