I got this thing in the mail from WOW! saying they now offer service in my area. I'm guessing they're just leasing Comcast's lines and providing their own service over them.

The thing that interests me is they say you get over 70 cable channels plus local broadcast channels, and 4000/500 Cable Internet with 3 IP addresses, 5 e-mail accounts, and 10 MB web storage for $78.50 per month, which includes the modem lease.

There's a 30 day free trial, so I guess it can't hurt to try. But I'm wondering if I could try their service for 30 days without cancelling Comcast. I have two lines coming into the house... one is for all the TV's, and the other is a dedicated line for the cable modem. So maybe they could just use one of those for their service and leave the other one for Comcast? Anyone know how that would work? I tried calling them but the lines are busy... so I e-mailed them and I'm waiting for a response.

I'm also wondering... if I get 3 IP addresses... is that 4000/500 bandwidth split among each IP address? Or does each IP address get it's own 4000/500 bandwidth?
