Comcast has been good to me and my family for the past year or so. The speed is a consistent 15 Mbps, latency is often under 100 ms, and packet loss is very low. I've been using MRTG to chart service downtime and Comcast has done a lot better than Qwest did. I have a friend 5 miles away who has had a much lower success rate with Comcast. I suspect either Comcast supports my area better or the hardware on my end is better: a Motorola SB6120, a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH, and a Trendnet TEG-S80G. All three devices can easily handle 10X the line speed. Even though my experience has been great, I hesitate to recommend Comcast to anyone because their monthly cost is relatively high, their corporate practices are greedy, and my friends have not had the same experience.
