Well that escalated slowly and painfully.

My wife used to have a photography studio. The building was serviced by Comcast. She had a year-long lease and wasn't sure that she was going to stay there. We called Comcast to get service minimum 3 year lease, No option but complete buyout on termination.

I asked her if there are any other options because it's ludicrous to have a service with a 3-year minimum when leases in the building aren't that long.

I shit you not the rep said there's no other service available in this building, this building is only serviced by Comcast. This is the only option. I purchased an AT&T hotspot, and never gave it a second thought.

And this isn't even my first run in with Comcast business. They're just absolutely horrible to deal with.
