Anyone considering Comcast business internet?

[ScottFern]

My understanding is that Comcast business internet has no bandwidth limit and comes in around $80ish for 16/1 ?

I currently have AT&T U-verse 6mb internet but I am anticipating the bandwidth cap coming in less than 6 months and it doesn't look pretty. I heard around 50GB/month which is awful.

If all that info is true sounds like a pretty good solution to not have to put up with a cap.

up for answer. . .

Go for fios.

Isn't the Comcrap cap 250?
Way better than 50 and cheaper than $80.

Does Comcast allow business cable accounts at residential addresses? And does it have a decent SLA? I work from home, and I lost the better part of two days last week because of outages.

No. I'm planning on calling up AT&T for DSL service around June (when I don't have to worry about classes) and canceling my Comcrap service (which is at a promotional rate till June).

Thats a great question......I haven't had the time to call a business rep to ask.

I believe they do, as long as you tell them you have a home business I think.

You should at least look at it. As with any agreement you should read everything to truly understand what they are offering and any SLAs that are in place. There are many terms and conditions in there and as I said you should read them all before agreeing.

For a business connection if there is any mention of limiting capacity or your ability to run that circuit full 24x7x365 then bring that up or don't sign. Unless of course they are offering you a burstable service to be billed at 95th percentile.

Comcast's cap is 250GB. Do you have information that they are planning to reduce it?

I don't care about SLAs as much as I do unmetered bandwidth which I would hope is in place for business class users.

Try living with the 10GB cap I have to put up with. I hit that in 2 days. They call me every month threatening to cancel my service if I keep it up.

They are my only choice.

Well that's why you need to read the contract/agreement. If you have disagreements with the contract then refuse to sign and demand changes before changes.

I'm sorry to sound so blunt, but this is business. If you don't agree with it then don't sign and send it back with your revisions to see if they accept.

Read through your contract/agreement and if there is any question regarding billing or not being able to use it full bore then bring it up. I'm sorry to sound so blunt, but you do know how to read?

Time to chill out there guy. I was merely just reiterating what I was thinking. I am WELL aware I have to talk to a Comcast rep about any of this. I was just HOPING someone already had this or had experience will Comcast business lines and knew ahead of time whether it was likely or not.

I am sorry to be so blunt, and yes I know how to read tough guy.

Sorry, I went over the top. But I'm only looking out for your best interest. Those contracts and terms and conditions are always negotiable.
