As a point of reference my Comcastic business class cable internet service in Vancouver, USA went from $86.90 to $98.84 a month with all taxes for 16/3 with five static IPs this month. Haven't noticed any rate change notification via USPS mail, just the usual solicitation to "review my business needs" every three or four weeks. I wonder how much I could save if I could opt out of that nonsense and get credit for it. :-)
It regularly shows a speed of 18/3.5 according to SpeakEasy using the Seattle hub. The one major gripe I have is using their modem is mandatory and the documentation is far from sufficient to get a server onto the internet. What little I've found online is dated or doesn't appear to work. I did stumble on a combination of settings for the cable modem + PFsense firewall that sorta worked, after several hours, but didn't feel particularly confident in the security or stability. Other than that I've been a satisfied Comcast customer from back in the @Home days. Regards, NealS
