I was and they got me going again but to be honest I am not 100% happy with the service since I have also had bad reception problems on the cable. They seem to come out about every 4 mos. to fix something. We have DSL in the area now and I have been giving it some thought since it is about $30.00 cheaper. A friend of mine that made the switch said he doesn't see a difference in what each does except when gaming which I don't do on-line. He said all the HS download stuff depends a ton on where it is coming from and their speed. I called Comcast today to see about a credit for the time I lost my service and then asked some questions about my bill and the Lady asked why I was asking. I told her to maybe make the switch to DSL since Comcast hasn't set the World on fire. She offered me a better deal of $29.99/mo compared to the $43.00/mo I am paying so that was cool. DSL will save $15.00/mo more if it isn't much of a downgrade. I started out with dial-up so how bad could it be?
DID COMCAST adjust your bill for the outage for a week?

I pay $14.99 for VERIZON DSL. works fine for me.

I HATE COMCAST & CAN"T wait to dump them for VERIZON FIOS TV= ALA CARTE. No more SPANISH & BRAZILIAN TV! UGH
