Word. $52 a month for 4mbps line. Plus, this month Comcast was nice enough to throw in a $3 charge for renting a modem, which I own! THANKS CRAPCAST.

**stonez** · 09-26-2005, 01:47 AM

Thats a great deal. ALthough i'd pay 90/month for high speed.. lol. I had dial up for lets see.. since 1994. Just got broadband last december.

I think mine's faster, too...the only issue with Comcast is convincing my wife that $50/month for internet access is worth.

**Nemesys** · 09-26-2005, 10:30 AM

Earlier this year Comcast went from 3Mbps to 4Mbps.
Now they have added another 2Mbps for a speed of 6Mbps.
My speed is 6334Kbps on Windows XP, but for some unknown reason I can only get 3700kbps max on Windows 2000.

Now $45 is starting to yield some justification.

Here in the twin cities area of MN, we at 4mps. WE should be moving to 6mps but i'm not sure when.

Verison FIOS spunds sweet! I wish that came to the mid west.

I'm jealous. I am stuck with Charter cable (local monopoly - they actually payed off the city board to keep Comcast out). Comcast is available ~20mi south of me and they have 4Mb (could be 6 now I suppose) while I'm stuck with 3. The connection itself is as fast as 3Mb gets, but if you have to deal with a person @ the CO it is a nightmare.... most unbelievably unintelligent staff.

Congrats on the 6Mb.

I had the same problem and after a couple of lengthy phone calls to convince them failed I had to fax the receipt to them. Another time they stole my modem and replaced it with an old used one and after several calls assuring me I would get a call about it. Well guess what I never got a call but they finally credited me for the modem. Another problem....

**Mr Cherry** · 09-26-2005, 01:08 PM

Hmm, haven't got my speed boost, still at 4mbps.

**AMD_Man** · 09-26-2005, 02:13 PM
