Comcast:
With over seven million broadband Internet customers, Comcast is the nation's leading provider of high-speed Internet access. In the past two years Comcast has lead an aggressive strategy for acquiring new broadband cable modem subscribers. In 2004 Comcast acquired AT&T Broadband which had previously acquired broadband provider Mediaone.
We have seen impressive response rates from Comcast subscribers. We attribute this to two factors; Comcast is a pay-for service (unlike free email service providers like Yahoo! and Hotmail) and their ISP offering is fairly new. This means that there are fewer orphaned accounts - boosting your delivery percentage to this domain. Thus we have found their subscribers to be active Internet users and we feel that this ISP will see continued growth through customer and competitor acquisitions.
Comcast has been known to blacklist the IP addresses of high volume senders. If you experience deliverability problems to this ISP do not hesitate to contact Listrak support for assistance.
The bottom line is that each Comcast.net address that you have is valuable and it should perform well for you in terms of delivery, open/read and conversion rates provided that you are playing by the rules of permission-based email marketing.
