It has now been a full week since Insight turned over the network to our new cable company, Comcast. The transition was a little rough for a few days, but I experienced a pretty seamless switch to the Comcast service. In fact, I didn't know I had a Comcast IP until I read other posts on DSLR and thought to check it. We never had to reboot the modem due to loss of connectivity either. OTOH, speeds are definitely more likely to vary throughout the day than with Insight. Ping times do as well. I can detect Powerboost on my SB5120 during some of the downloads and uploads but it seems to last only for a few seconds. I definitely wouldn't pay extra for it. At this time we still haven't received the invitation to change over the e-mail address, but it's happened anyway. Understandably some techies don't care about content, as they only use their broadband connection for transport. I do think comcast.net has neat content like Fancast though. I'll be sure to add some updates as time goes on.
