Horrible! Why doesn't Canada have Comcast or any US ISP?
- mrstone 4y agoBecause as bad as it is, we don't need it to be any worse.
- mcspiff 4y agoHaving dealt with most major Canadian ISPs and Comcast, I think the only Canadian ISP I would rank above them is Telus. Maybe Bell depending on the province.
- ChoGGi 4y agoI'd personally take Comcast over Rogers any day of the week.
- wvenable 4y agoCanada limits foreign ownership of telecommunications.
- kitten_mittens_ 4y agoIs America particularly foreign? Looking at the EU as a model, it makes sense for the two anglophone countries to have a closer union.
- Teever 4y agoCanada is effectively a vassal state of The US. any closer union between the two would result in Canada becoming a full fledged American state. As a Canadian I feel that the current arrangement gives Canada most of the perks of America with very few of the downsides.
- bpye 4y agoWhilst I agree in abstract, I imagine closer ties with the US would be hard to stomach for many in Canada for a while given the last presidency…

- stevenjgarner 4y agoI would strongly argue that Comcast would be a huge step backwards even for the Canadians. "Comcast Is America's Most Hated Company" [0]. Roger's 10.2 million wireless subscribers lost connectivity for maybe a couple of days. Comcast has been failing at servicing more than 31 million broadband internet subscribers for decades. Comcast has also done everything they can to destroy net neutrality. The sooner Comcast is a thing of the past, the better.

- Scoundreller 4y agoI think Rogers bought Comcast’s XFinity IP TV infrastructure. It’s safe to say that Canadian ISPs don’t innovate at all: just trail others.

- planarhobbit 4y agoThe big three here in Canada grouped up against Verizon. It’s a cartel and they pay everyone off to look the other way.
- Arrath 4y agoYou....would wish Comcast on someone else? Who hurt you?
- Pakdef 4y agoIf you don't need to talk to customer service and your service is stable, Comcast is fine...
