davis_square | Suggestions for Internet service? (Reply)

I've had Verizon Internet service for over a decade now, but over the past 6 months or so it's acting more and more like an 80-year-old man whose Viagra supply has run out. I've spent countless hours on the phone with their tech support, and have had 4 technicians to my house this summer (each one necessitating staying home from work, which wouldn't be a problem if my connection would stay up). So I'm guessing it's time to switch. I saw some discussion a while back comparing RCN & Comcast, but thought I'd bring it up again, just in case things have changed (hell, at the time of the discussion, Verizon seemed like a good deal). Also, if anyone has had any experience with Clear, I'd be interested to hear about that. ETA: RCN sent somebody over yesterday morning to hook me up. I called them Thursday afternoon & they were able to set up a 2 hour window, which they respected, the next day - I suspect they aren't as accommodating when they're already got your business. Kind words to Best Buy in the Watertown mall for completely refunding the cost of the Verizon modem I bought a couple of weeks ago. Service is definitely faster, and it's $10 less a month than I was paying for Verizon (though this will increase in a year, c'est la vie). So far I'm happy with it.
