We have a bunch of clients on Comcast Business down here (xfinity). It has been pretty solid for our clients who have a Fiber-Ethernet or CoE connection and want some failover bandwidth. We use it as our primary line in our office for 10 people, voip phones on hosted pbx 25/50mb connection and its been reliable since we got it about 10 months ago ..
I did a deployment for a client who ran a few phones on voip from Dallas over TW out there and we had nothing but problems. Flipped it to the DSL and clear as day ..not sure what TW is like there but we had all kinds of weird routes, hops coming back to WPB, FL.

We've had good reliability and service, voice and data, with TW and personally think the Comcast party line is a bad idea. Although cheap may go for it for it as a backup alternative.

Ouch. Run far away from TWTC. Run far away from Comcurst -- even for their so-called business class service (with its general lack of SLAs the last time I looked) Do you have any other option?

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 ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin _____ This information may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
