Choice is good (Score 1)

I first saw Comcast's change to their TOS RE: VPNs a little less than a year ago. I wasn't happy, as running a VPN connection to work is one of the things I do with my Internet connection. I already knew that DSL was out, since I'm a whopping 22,000 feet from the Verizon CO I was connected to. At that time, RCN was in the middle of building out their cable (fibre) plant in my township (Upper Darby Twp, adjacent to Philadelphia). As soon as they got to my neighborhood in August, I switched. I'm satisfied with the service, and since they have their own network (i.e., not part of @Home), service wasn't interrupted recently. I also switched my phone service from Verizon to RCN (on the same connection), but decided not to switch my cable TV, since RCN doesn't have any plan as cheap as I have through Comcast ($11/month). Having a choice of cable systems is one advantage to living in a densely populated area.
