I’m all for the concept of the overall cost reduction, but I question the risk inherent in removing the land-based leg of the triad in the age of more and more disruptive technologies. All it would take is a single breakthrough in space- or ocean-based detection and tracking or other technical methods, and our SSBNs…

Comcast Internet service has been fairly decent for us. We go through occasional hiccups, but downstream/upstream speeds to our house meet or exceed their service commitments, and customer support has been not-bad.
