I guess that's with the networking option or something? FIOS is available in my town for the same price for 15mbps- eventually they're going to have to bump it to compete.

Too bad I can't get FIOS because I live in a condo.

There's so many factors involved in a situation like this. From my experience with Comcast, that's about all you're gonna get. Most of the time I didn't come close to my theoretical max line speed.

/me shrugs.

My DSL line is supposed to be 1MB, the line is actually 1152 (rather than 1024) so I *should* get pretty close to max speed, but I only get 960kbps or so.
Overheads are a bitch.
