I just want to chime in on this.  I have a comcast commercial account 
(I'm moving to uptopia/xmission as  soon as I have a house).  My service 
went down, it was 24 hours before a tech came out to fix it.  I had to 
leave work to meet the tech at my place.  I was reimbursed for the cost 
of the service during the outage(about $3).  There was no reimbursement 
based on how much money I lost due to the outage.
