We have a segment on Comcast Ethernet. We use it for other purposes, just point to point for our needs, but it has been relatively stable. However, we ordered 1Gbit, and we do use a full 1Gbit, for the first few months performance was nowhere near 1Gbit until they upgraded some equipment internally, but speeds have been stable, and reliability good. Note, Comcast Ethernet runs on their fiber network, which sometimes uses aerial lines, I've heard of others having some disconnects when poles get hit and stuff. -- Brent Jones br...@servuhome.net
