FWIW we just upgraded to a similar Comcast package and it's wicked, wicked fast. Additionally, we spent this past weekend running cat6 through a handful of gigabit switches.
Now, our wireless doesnt have as much weight on it and the internet bursts to 22mb down and ~3mb up. And cheap cheap cheap, even for a commercial package. If you're worried about Comcast's notoriously awful customer support, drop a line to twitter.com/comcastcares - his name is Frank - and tell him Alex from IndyHall sent you. He's your b-line to not having to deal with idiot customer support asking you to turn the router off and on again. -Alex On Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 4:31 PM, Jacob Sayles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > > Just a follow up on the internet access discussion.
