I've got RCN - internet only, can't speak for TV/voice. I'm pretty happy with it - the service is very reliable. One the rare (once, twice a year) occasion that the connection goes out, there's usually a message on their voice menu that says they are having problems in the area and are working to fix it, so there's no need to even wait in line and talk to a human.
They offer fixed IP service (for an extra $20/month which is kind of steep) which means running servers is ok, and they don't mess with your traffic.
RCN is definitely cheaper than Comcast. They are also a much smaller company.
My only beef with them is that they play the same stupid game as Comcast with promotional rates - the first year is cheaper and you have to call and threaten to switch to the competition to retain your promotional rate beyond that. There should be a law against that ;)
