Sounds like you want to blame SR for a Comcast problem? That doesn't make too much sense.
Oh well...
This is actually why I left Verizon and eventually went with SR to begin with. Verizon told me after my service stopped working 24 hours after getting it that there was a problem with the wiring in my house and they would happily send someone out to fix it. For $200. I had the barebones plan just to have a landline for 911/local calls, and I wasn't about to pay them for almost a year's worth of service to figure out what they did wrong (since I hadn't changed a thing since it was working the day before).
Anyway, it's one thing for my service to drop for short periods every once in a while. It's entirely another for my service to crap out on me completely and the company I'm paying for it to tell me they'll happily fix it for me if I pay them the equivalent of 6-12 months of service on top of paying for that service to begin with.
I think people really are losing sight of that. We're paying an extremely low price for a service that for me at least is up 99% of the time and works beautifully. I was paying more for the barebones Verizon line and couldn't call long distance. With SR I pay less and can not only call across the country for free, but I can call internationally for pocket change.
