Anybody have Comcast??

I have a feeling he should be getting between 7000-10000 kbits/sec though. He might need to call them out. Those are the speeds I get with my mediacom cable modem

I think I pay for 3 mbit connection but I think I'm limiting the speed by some of things I'm doing.

You can buy a 7mbit connection from Comcast if you want to pay more for the Premium.

Cost isn't too much of an issue if you don't mind putting in some effort every 6-12 months. When your teaser rate ends, keep calling comcast until someone gives you another promotion. This is what I do, otherwise I couldn't justify spending so much money on tv+internet

I'm going to call him tonight. He moved to Arizona so I'm not sure of the deal he could leverage for me. We recently agreed to be in his will as caretakers of his kids if anything happens to him and his wife, so that should give me some leverage!

Good idea on calling to get better rates after the teaser deal is up...I'm pretty good at doing that.
