So why is anyone (Dave) buying their service?

    I'm buying their service because it's the best service I can get
here.   (and it's significantly better than the best I could get in
either Florida or DC, at least when I lived there)   And it's cheaper by
about 30% than what I had in Florida, though that was not a
consideration, as my connectivity is my livelihood.   As a bonus, for
that 30% discount, I have more than twice the bandwidth and far, far
better reliability. (I was on Sprint business class in Florida)

    I am 100% happy with Comcast Business.   They are a class act. (with
the exception of that routing hole, which I will investigate!)   Please
keep in mind that this is NOT the same organization, business model, or
staff as the consumer-grade shared cable network service.   (There's
fiber to the pole outside my building!)

You guys are funny...

You totally missed Peters point. It is *Comcast* who do not have access to the whole internet, not the other way around. Comcast can't do anything about it. Comcast is blacklisted by some parts of the Internet. If you want access to those parts of the Internet you need to switch to another ISP, which actually do have access to all of it.

Comcast is not blocking something for you. Comcast do not have access, and thus can't sell it either. Comcast probably did not tell you, or any other customer, that you will only be able to access parts of the Internet through them. Ask for a refund, or go somewhere else...? I doubt Comcast will suddenly be able to speak to Stupi.SE within any forseeable future.
