Thanks guys. I am going to stay with comcast digital for another year. I have no problems with the comcast and just figured I will stay with them considering the price is pretty much the same with either. Maybe next year. Paul

wow i guess it is pretty fast. Does make using Limewire a little more bearable. Does the computer help in getting and utilizing more speed? I got one of these Intel core 2 things.

We also had the complete cable bundle .... switched to Verizon Fios ... fantastic service and save a few bucks a month. They run the fiber to the house at no charge ... uses your existing coax inside the house.

The do need to install a fair size box (12 x 12) in the basement ... near an electric outlet.

We did have to make a 2 year commitment to Verizon.

I would go with the 2 year deal. It is now 128 for the 99 I payed the last 2 years. I have never had a problem and if that is all you have I would take the 2 year deal.
