I wish Google Fiber will come to the Northeast. Much better than the xfinity I have now. Heck, in CT, I don't even have Fios. I have optimum, but after negotiating with xfinity, faster internet.

Some things aren't wonderful......is this a case of looking a gift horse in the mouth?
LOL......low income students.....yet, did you notice one kid complained that he had to use her Smartphone because it was faster?
Yeah, OK, I'm crying for the poor girl...

I will say that, if this is completely true without good reason,it's one thing Comcast can be faulted for.
" asked to get on a payment program to settle the charges but was denied. "
I meant that the article, itself, is full of people complaining about the quality of the service. It's not something that was introduced in this thread first.
