Yeah Comcast can be great and suck all at the same time.

Just learned that lesson the hard way.
Had a horrible lightning storm come through here. Knocked out power and internet.
Sent everyone home since it was 2PM and FP& L said no power until 7 PM at earliest.
Came in next morning to power and no internet. Seems my router took a hit right through the surge protector.
Thankfully I had a backup in a box on a shelf. Took me about an hour to get it fired up and comcast to activate it remotely.
Since then I have decided to get a cellular wifi hot spot to use in case this happens again, I lean heavy on the internet. If it goes down we are down.
When I lost power and internet last time, I packed up my server (I have my own cloud server) and took it home, so I could finish my work there. I had power and internet there, 2 miles away.
