I've been stuck with comcast too for awhile, and I might be switching off soon. Still no FiOs around here, but I'm hoping for something better then comcast. One thing I would say is to watch for the Upload speed too. I pay for 7Mbps connection but heres the kicker. I get 500 Kbs upload. Note the K. This was fine for awhile. At the time i was the only one using the internet, now, theres usually 3 people on at the time. One person on Xbox Live, one downloading and chatting, and another doing eBay stuff. Immedietly when the downloader (me) starts to upload something the Xbox Live user is crippled. Anyways. I'm gonna try to get away from comcast but I'm most likely going to have to go with the Powerboost. I might end up using this information fairly soon.

I get the full 5 Mbps that I pay for but the connection is comes and goes and it is hard to download anything that takes longer than a few minutes because the connection will drop temporarily and the download will time out forcing me to restart it. The same thing happens with uploads. I havent been able to succesfuly upload a video from this connection for months. Charter is my Comcast too.

I am connected to a router wirelessly, and the main computer is connected through CAT5, with 100Mbps. I use a download accelerator that lets me download at over 2GB/s.

It's worse than what your getting with Comcast. But like yourself I can't get any other D S L however I could get cable . I've had it for the past 4 years and with the same modem .which after upgrading I would have thought I would have gotten a much faster setup but after talking to a rep that was futile since it still worked. I think they are all bad in their own way. Chris I do know the frustration your going through since my DSL is thru ATT Yahoo. It’s worse than what your getting with Comcast.

I also run a P2P client 24-7 and have no problems with unstable bandwidth, or interruption in service. I run a speed test regularly, since our old Cable ISP slowly multiplexed out bandwidth down from 5mbit to around 1.5mbit over the course of 5 years. DSL is definitely better in this case.
