I've had comcast since 2002...its good enough for me... and most of the downloading speeds you get depend on the site too...

For some reason not many people in the mainstream have heard about it. Well basically its something along the lines of comcast having an infrastructure in place to do crazy speeds, while verizon will need to completely update it.

He said 160 MEGABYTES/S......yes per second. Blue ray movies D/l'd in 25 secs I think he said.

I googled this for the first time since he mentioned it, and there a very recent article. Below is the only interesting stuff:

"The Comcast service will offer up to 50Mb/s download speeds and 5Mb/s upload for no price increase. Comcast said it will provide up to 100Mb/s within two years and 160Mb/s in the future. Currently, Comcast's fastest download speed is 16Mb/s."

Thanks for that article.
Can't wait for this:

Comcast said expects to offer the service in 20 percent of its markets by the end of the year and to all of the country by 2010.
