Edit 2/16/08:
Comcast Technician came out to diagnose VoD problem. Checked out the work that the contractor had done, said it was crap and he was going to report the contractor to his supervisor. Tech will come back tomorrow to run a 2nd dedicated line into our house to fix the problem.
Edit 2/5/2008:
Alright! Install went great, the tech was REALLY nice.
He gave me a free amp and installed it along with rewiring a certain area by the splitters.
I gave the tech free reign in where to put the eMTA and wiring, he really enjoyed that. Put it and made sure the wiring was clean and neat. Got everything on the CDV end working within 1 hour or so (the people on the phone were taking forever to pick up to activate everything).
The internet was a different story. For some reason they put my modem into a walled garden mode. He couldn't figure it out why it wasn't working (didn't know then it was getting the walled garden config file). Put in a service ticket for someone to come tomorrow. Later I went into the logs of the modem and saw the wrong config file, called Comcast. had them remove the modem, add it back and send the right config file. All fixed
All in all so far everything is great. I get all my channels that I'm supposed to, CDV voice quality is just as good, if not better than Verizon POTS. Internet works just as it was before. Amplifier works great.
A++ for Comcast. I think I'm going to be staying with them for a while now...

Had no other choice besides satellite broadband, too expensive for that. Have 6/384 for $42.95 with PowerBoost, Self Install Kit from Best Buy (free modem!)
Have a SB5120 that I am noticing is faltering a bit. Maybe have to replace it soon. Comcast tech support really nice, have helped me a lot when I needed it.
Current stuff I have with them:
HSI Performance Tier, Digital Preferred Cable, 2 STB's (1 HD, 1 SD). Ordered Zee TV at $12.95/mth
Total cost per month comes to something like $148.xx after all the fees and stuff.
Had Comcast come out and replace the splitter at the pole for digital cable problems, noticed my internet speeds have SKYROCKETED. Now getting full PB (12mb down, 1.5.mb up), awesome and stable internet connection. Modem has also righted itself somehow.
Totally worth it. Go for it if you have the choice!
Edit: I will be getting the Triple Play on Thursday if Comcast can port my number over from Verizon. Otherwise I'll switch to a double play and Verizon Freedom Essentials. Will post back Tuesday or Wednesday updating phone porting situation.
Oh yeah forgot to add Comcast bumped us up to either 6000/768 or 6000/1000 for the performance tier.
