Talk to any 3 people at Comcast and you will receive at least 4
different answers about what is or isn't included.
Having a particular offer in writing makes no difference to them.

Back to the original topic on price. I am interested in this as well as we are
looking for a failover network and had actually talked with Comcast. They were
doing the work to see how far they had to trench.
Does anyone out there actually use their Ethernet services? How stable are
they?

Maybe it just depends on the area I have had Comcast Business Class at my
residences through the past 7 years with no problems at all. Infact my current
connection has almost a better uptime than our t1's at our office. Connected

The original inquiry was aimed at comcast's Ethernet service, which no one has
actually responded to and the whole thread turned south from there.
Does any one here use comcast's ethernet services?
If so, what is their price range?
Thanks in advance.

Is anyone aware of a large (preferably tier 1 or tier 2) carrier that
has a solid network that supports T.38 fax on-ramp and off-ramp
services?
I have a client that needs to originate and terminate several DS3's
worth of T.38 fax traffic and is trying to find a carrier that
supports this.
Ok lets clarify. Comcast recently started offering Ethernet (read fiber
delivery) circuits. Anyone know about stability and pricing on these. Please
exclude all the commentary on any Comcast services that are cable based.
