Comcast cable
« on: May 15, 2009, 10:07:39 AM »
I'm going to be moving and I was planning on setting up a new cable internet account.  Is it worth paying the extra for the faster speeds?

I am paying $42.95 a month.  The speeds i am paying for are 6 Mb/s down and 1 Mb/s up.  The speeds I am getting consistently are 16 Mb/s down and 4 Mb/s up.  I doubt I am a average case but I think the best bet is to start on the low tiers and upgrade only if you don't see the speeds that you want.

Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Alright cool, that helps me with my decision.  I'll probably be moving to New Holland.
