Cool. I've been thinking about ditching my dialup and getting Comcast lately. I miss being able to download music (from IUMA) and pr0n..

We've had it in our area for a few months (first teast area they used). It's nice, and I can keep a consistant 380-400 KB/s going round the clock.

Anyone know the current test areas? Evidently not seattle... -.-;;

I'm stuck with CableOne.net , $40/month for 500/128 Kbps, can't get DSL because of old telephone line (about the same price/performance as CableOne anyway)

To begin with, Comcast will raise its broadband service speed in Atlanta; Detroit; Dallas, Ga.; Hattiesburg, Miss.; Independence, Mo.; Knoxville, Tenn.; Lake County, Fla.; Meridian, Miss.; Mobile, Ala.; Muncie, Ind.; Panama City, Fla.; Pittsburgh; Savannah, Ga.; and Tuscaloosa, Ala.

It also say by the end of the year, majority will get it rise!

they need to freakin stabalize my cable. When it's working correctly, I'm at 200-250kb constant... no one really "needs" more then that. Who cares about 400-500kb/sec if it rarely works correctly?

not meant to be a thread crap, I just hate cvntcast service
