I work for Comcast in Dallas and know that's not a problem right now. (And before you ask, I'm just a reports analyst and not directly involved with accounts.) I personally live outside of the Comcast market, so I can't benefit from the lower rates (under Charter right now). Of course, once I'm in a Comcast area, there are benefits to being an employee. :) Which is another tip I highly recommend. If there is a facet of your life that takes up resources (in this case, maintaining a good enough bandwidth for personal use), try to find employment for a company where you can get that facet of your life at a discount. One of my wife's obsessions is jewelry. So she works for Zale Corporation and gets wonderful discounts on her passion. This tip is rarely that useful if your love is to shop at discount stores. Usually the employee benefit is hardly enough to make up for the low wages they will pay as well. Depending on the company you choose, the savings could very well be in the thousands.
