Comcast has just rolled out their 50/10 and 100/20 service here.
At 189.99 for 50/10 I was seriously considering ordering one as a
backup connection if my main connection failed. Talked to the
sales manager and they had no problem with it and would put it on
the contract. Any suggestions or has anyone else had a dealing
with this type connection as a backup.
Wouldn't you have to get them to run BGP over this connection, so you
can keep things online? I suppose this would work if you were really
desperate, and willing to basically NAT your whole network, but you
wouldn't want to do that for more than a couple hours while the real
links are repaired.

And I don't believe Comcast offers BGP not to mention you mileage will
vary with the quality of the link. Tends to be great when you're the
first one on it, but as they start overselling their backbone quality
drops dramatically...we've had quite few customers come back to us for
this exact reason. I suppose in a pinch it would be better then nothing.
