I have installed it twice (I moved) and neither installation program worked under win98se (2 different machines, both working perfectly otherwise) Maybe the Cds would have worked under XP...They just wouldn't run under '98 (just needed them for modem activation) Besides the modem activation, I never needed any kind of tech support (in both cases it was fairly straightforward, they know their stuff) I am using 3 wireless linked machines running XP pro (dropped 98) with ICS at zero problems, using the XP firewall. No DSL chance at my location, cable is remarkably faster, anyway. best regards Jorge

My experience with Comcast has been quite different. I've done 5 complete installatiions (Hardware and software) with no problem whatever, and no extra charges of any kind. What little tech support I've needed has been due to errors at the sales office or mistakes on my part. Support has been uniformly fast and competent, including support for routers. Maybe they use a different install CD in my area (Annapolis, MD). Upload and download speeds are comparable. **************************************************************************** ************************* Hi everybody. I've been using Comcast for more than a year and had zero problems so far. Measured download speed at 3Mbits consistently, that means 375kb per second, or almost 22MB per minute (at that speed you can download 2 full CDs per hour) . The upload speed is 256Mbits, if you translate in KB it's 32kb per second, not much, but 8 or more times normal dialup modem upload speed. Peak downloading speed with a local server is usually around 400kb/s.
Only problem is setting up the account, you have to trash the CD they give you and phone their technical support to do it (seems programs on CD do not work on purpose, so they can charge you for the installation after the Comcast man connects the modem to the cable.)
