I'm on the other side of the coin we use them as the main internet on quite a few of our remote sites, it's a mixed bag for the most part we've not had a ton of issues with the connection's and they're very reliable, good speed. But when something goes wrong it's like pulling teeth to get a competent person who can give you good business class support. That being said price wise and connectivity wise they are a good choice if you can handle dealing with them
Thx!

Other peoples' may vary, obviously. For me, it's been the smartest thing I ever did. I switched from a T1 that was costing us around $650 a month to Comcast for all of our Internet, Phone and TV service. We went from spending around $1200 a month for those services combined to under $400 a month, and my biggest fears - that the Internet service would be unreliable, and that Comcast's customer service would be bad - were unfounded. Our Internet service has dropped out once in a year and a half, and that was for about an hour when our cable modem died. I called Comcast and they got someone out here very quickly to replace the modem. Their hold times are reasonable, the people are knowledgeable... it's just been great. I'm going to switch from Verizon to Comcast for my home phone service, too.

Our service agreement with TWtelecom ends in a few months and it seems that Comcast can blow TW's prices out of the water. But then again it's Comcast and since they don't offer an SLA in their agreement and some things I've heard in the past such as oversubscribing, outages, bandwidth speed dropping, etc concerns me. We may just use it as a backup service but have talked about replacing our primary service with it. We are a relatively small shop and operate now with a 4Mb up and down with a 1.5 DSL as backup that also handles wireless. We are looking at Comcasts 22Mb/2Mb service. Thanks for any input and feel free to contact off list as well. Oh yeah and here in New Mexico Comcast currently operates with their DOCSIS2.0 but is upgrading infrastructure to DOCSIS3.0 Robert Robert LeBlanc Network Administrator MCP,MCSE Anesthesia Associates of New Mexico, P.C.
