Weekly readers without Comcast are like Tony Stark without the Ironman suit: much less entertaining. New interfaces make searching out sports, comedy, drama and news programming easier; expanding movie catalogs bring X Men and Avengers swooping into your living room (and plenty of The Departed and Bridesmaids too). In the easy-to-navigate help center, responses await. Then there’s this bonus: Comcast Foundation provides “Internet Essentials,” a program for low-income residents, and contributes to the Salinas City Elementary Education Foundation, United Way of Monterey County and National Council of La Raza. Fortune smiles on this triple-play service provider.
