9. I use AT&T infrastructure from an independent provider.

Essentially I'm paying someone else to deal with AT&T's bullshit.

Our connection is a twisted wire pair to the big AT&T box down the street. When we first moved here it was Pacific Bell and they didn't offer residential internet service. The box down the street has been upgraded several times since we've lived here.

Our connection speed is rock solid. Standard definition Netflix and YouTube videos play without any problem.

Netflix is our only subscription video service.

There's no way in hell I'll ever do business with Comcast. I don't know and don't care if the Comcast cable connected to our house is even functional. Comcast sends me more junk mail than anyone else, a lot of it that plastic coated crap which denies me the pleasure of ripping it in half before I drop it in recycling bin.
