A lot of people lately are complaining about a lack of price stability, it seems like a good angle.

Also as an SF resident with no realistic alternative to Comcast cable, I'd appreciate a provider who didn't try to sneak price increases onto my bill a couple of times a year.

In a healthy market I wouldn't expect big margins for sellers, but honestly if someone's making insane profits by selling me a product or service that's excellent and better than my non-empty set of alternatives I'm not going to complain.

Have you considered Monkeybrains? For the price the service is fantastic, and with some of their new upgrades speeds are pretty good for most of SF.

Caveat: I work from home so I keep my comcast subscription as a backup and have a router with automatic failover. I would say this is not worth it for most people and just Monkeybrains is sufficent.

I have the same issue, I'm in an area with underground utilities so Sonic isn't an option, it's just Comcast or Monkeybrains. But the problem with Monkeybrains is that they had me behind a IPv4 NAT with no IPv6, and when I asked them to change that, I ended up with very bad packet loss that their technical support couldn't resolve.

Yes, but it requires landlord cooperation.

What kind of speeds? When I last contacted them (maybe 3 years ago?) they said they could only guarantee 35Mbps symmetrical, but that most people see more like 80Mbps. That's... not good at all.
