    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.

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

    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.

    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....
