Maybe it just depends on the area I have had Comcast Business Class at my residences through the past 7 years with no problems at all. Infact my current connection has almost a better uptime than our t1's at our office. Connected (165d 13h 29m 37s) with 16/2 minimum speed. I personally would use Comcast over Global Crossing based on personal experience :P Ive got a /29 awesome reliability and the name of my business rep who I can call when I need something. $99 a month doesn't seem bad for that.

No way I would ever consider using them for transit. I would only consider a stub peer with them to help out the poor Comcast customers who are also trying to get to my data centers.
