[ale] atnex outage

[Lightner, Jeff]

Comcast doesn't hate us.  Their attitude is more like the one you have about certain family members.   You don't want anything bad to happen to them but don't really want to hear from them even if it does.   (Of course the difference is the bad things that happen are caused by Comcast.)

Truly, I probably wouldn't switch to Comcast even if I could. All
indications are that they hate their customers. Also, AtNex doesn't
block any ports (except maybe the CIFS port, not sure) or cap
bandwidth usage.

As for wireless, no way, not with that latency. I play games online.
