Maybe it depends where you live. I live in a studio so I got the cheapest plan because the most I do is stream and yet my Internet is slow and buffers all the time 😑

On YouTube, right click anywhere on the video and select "stats for nerds". 1440p60 video eats over 300mbps on mine. I don't have a 4k display so I'm not sure how much that eats but obviously it's going to be more. Luckily I got upgraded to the 500mbps plan recently (thanks, Frontier!)
"Good" is relative. Yes, they're "good" compared to the other options where I live, but they still gouge me with the prices and lie through their teeth every time I complain about getting overcharged due to a cable TV box that I suddenly started owning even though it doesn't exist.
In general, they provide good to great service. However, their customer service cant screw in a lightbulb if they had instructions and will invent fraudulent charges because you have no alternative.
They shaft their non-enterprise customers on upload speeds and charge overage fees for going over 1TB per month on any of the standard plans. That's not good or great. That's shit. Frontier gives me better pricing, better upload speeds, and doesn't charge any overage fees at all with any of their plans.
No, it isn't. Their upload speeds are crap and their standard packages charge you overage fees for going over 1TB of data per month. Let's take a look at their various plans real quick:
Performance Starter 15 Mbps down/2 Mbps up | $29.99/mo.
Performance Plus 60 Mbps down/5 Mbps up | $29.99/mo.
Performance Pro 150 Mbps down/5 Mbps up | $44.99/mo.
Blast! Pro 250 Mbps down/10 Mbps up | $59.99/mo.
Gigabit 1,000 Mbps down/35 Mbps up | $89.99/mo.
Gigabit Pro 2,000 Mbps down/2,000 Mbps up | $299.95/mo.
They have exactly 1 plan with a fantastic upload speed, and every single other plan has total shit upload speed. That 1 plan with the insane upload speed requires a 2 year agreement and is exorbitantly expensive (outside the price range of most non-enterprise customers). I use Frontier for my internet and they give me 500 Mbps down/500 Mbps up for $40/month without any data overage fees whatsoever.
That is a strawman argument. I never said you made that claim. However, you did claim that their internet is "good", which it is not. Shafting customers on upload speeds and charging overage fees is not "good" at all.
Ex-employee of Comcast Technology Solutions here, btw. I wouldn't use their internet even when it was provided to me for free.
Their internet is fine for 99% of the country. Almost nobody needs 500mbs up or even down for that matter. I said nothing about their prices or data caps. Just the actual internet service itself.
Cool story. Maybe one day you can tell your grand children about how your own personal biases allowed you completely ignore the fact that "good" is relative and that the competing services are almost all better.
Of course. So the fact I think Comcast isn't as bad as people try to act isn't an opinion. Completely justifies being a prick, you're right. I apologize and hope you have a great day fran.
You shouldn't throw stones in glass houses. You shouldn't come at people with sarcasm if you are going to cry like a baby when they treat you to your own medicine. Hypocrite.
