Speeds are great if you don't run into any problems. HD service is excellent, lack of some channels (fox sports ohio and sports time ohio) is disappointing.
Too expensive. $250 for triple play platinum and 6 boxes is rediculous.

Broadband in Weirton

I'm just happy that the Weirton area has broadband available. I have family there that was anxiously waiting for @home (before it went belly up). I know that the area doesn't have DSL available yet and may take some time as the CO's there would all need upgraded to support DSL.
I will also say that half the speed was a surprise to many in the area that were getting much more in the down area. At least comcast offers a little better in the upload area.

yea I agree

yea i agree, I am in Oregon. Every time the connection goes down, comcast will tell me there is nothing wrong on their side, and want to send a tech to my house check stuff and charge me $$$. They claims I can get 4mb speed,but real speed is always 3mb or less. Now they are going to add $2 to my rate in 2009 and make me subscribe to the 6mb package. Why would I want to get the 6mb package when my real speed cant get over 3mb ?
