How do you know?
I left Comcast for cable when they kept jacking up my rates year after
year while providing worse and worse service.
I have never used their Internet service because my "normal usage" is a

tunnels and run my own web and mail services (with a fixed IP address)
without getting soaked by Comcast as a "business" user.)
