Personally my problem is that they convert your phone over too. So what you might say, well since it is fiber to your house, all the AC for the fiber to copper stuff is from your outlets. No power no phone (after the battery gives up ~8 hours). I know people who were without power 4+ days in the last couple years and I don't know if I would like to be hosed like that. Still, I would love to give the bird to comcast.
