Curt already chimed in about our setup, but I'll chime in with my two
cents...

You may want to call Comcast and find out if they have the new DOCSIS 3
available in your area.  It recently became available in our neck of the
woods and we actually switched from two regular cable modems (16 mpbs down,
2 mbps up @ $90/month) to one connection that is 50 mbps down and 10 mbps up
@ $190/month.

As far as ease of use, this is superior to having the two connections.  In
our experience, we didn't ~often~ have both connections go down at the same
time.  Usually just one connection or the other would have problems.
