I was forced this morning to have Comcast charge me $40 to install a cable to set up internet at my new place by an authorized technician. I hate Comcast SO much, and from what I can tell I don't seem to have another option, supposedly AT&T but the speeds are slow and their website says my apartment is not in service area.

The quality of AT&T's service is going to vary depending on where you are.

I have a gigabit connection from them that I pay $60 / month for (they lowered the price when I tried to leave). It's the fastest internet connection I've ever had.

It's a moot point if where you live does not allow anybody but a single exclusive provider for internet, which is nearly every apartment in the US.
