Comcast's uptime around here is 99.9%...
 
The upgrade was just fired up in my area here in south Florida. 6,000 down, and 384 up. And I think I pay $45.95/month, including the modem.

I pay $83 a month for a 512/512kbps DSL line with two /29 subnets of IPs. No transfer limit though.

 
Dang I wish FIOS was available in my area. It makes all these Comcast "deals" a joke. 15 down, 2 up for less than $50? Now that's hawt.

I have heard stories that comcast does lag more than SBC. My friend claims to get 20 - 30 ping in CS, while I get low 40s with my Comcast.. ditto.

i was on CSS last week, i have Comcast and my ping was 8 YES 8, and this wasent to a server in myhouse, it was a random pub server, when my housemateand I used to play at the same time our pings were never over 60 when we were both on, and this was when comcast was 4mbit, now that its at 6, the pings are lower

and i have had 6/384 for well over a month now in boston, i guess we got it first
 
I've been on the 8MB/768 connection for at least a few weeks. I ran speedtest a while back to see what would happen, and I was pleasently surpised. Monthly rate didn't go up either.

In NW Ohio the local cable monopoly was still doing 1mb/128kb as recently as about 2 years ago. For $55 a month.
