Hi all. Long-time listener, first-time caller.

I am moving to Davis Sq next month and am in the process of setting up my utilities.

Wondering if anyone has any insight into RCN vs Comcast for phone/cable/internet.

I saw some scattered posts on this topic in the archive, but none too recently.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've had both and this is how I view them:

RCN:
pros = better/more intelligent tech support, TCM and GSN included in basic package (key if you like old timey movies and old timey game shows!), nicer/more polite customer service, fewer wifi outages
cons = the free on-demand selection stinks - very little is available, the on-demand system in general is really clunky and not user-friendly

Comcast:
pros = on-demand system is awesome - lots of free shows and movies (CBS, A&E, Bravo, etc.) available in an easy-to-navigate system
cons = fewer channels in the basic package, tech support is maddeningly unhelpful

Having tried both, which one did you decide to keep?

It's more like, having had both which one did the new roommate and I decide to go with -- my old roommate and I had Comcast -- my new roommate wanted to go with RCN and I was cool with that (having had both in the past). So far, we enjoy RCN.
