The current status quo is far from ideal. You have either Comcast that is nothing but a one-horse race for fast internet (though it could be a lot faster) or you have Qwest for [a less] fast network. Neither option is too appealing. Their prices are high and their management of the network leaves a lot to be desired. I have had to move my email over to a third party as Comcast continually blocked my email. My only recourse was to request (and ask "pretty please") to enable my "paid for" email. Suffice it to say my third party option is superior, but at a cost of an additional provider for something that I have to pay Comcast for anyway. Please, let's move on this post-haste. Let's also integrate additional services if possible (e.g. television). It would be nice to have an additional option to the current choices! Let's go for it!

Please, let’s move on this post-haste. Let’s also integrate additional services if possible (e.g. television). It would be nice to have an additional option to the current choices!

Let’s go for it!
