Update 15Jun08
Smooth sailing. The connection is not in the 12 mbs as it was occasionally when the speedboost first started, but it is reliable. If I had to start with any ISP offered in this area, I would still choose Comcast.
Update 29Jun07
Comcast has speed boost in my area. What this means is speeds up to 15 megabytes for down load. It has tweaked up load to be almost always above 1 megabyte. I've noticed that speed boost doesn't always work, this could be due to an excessive number of simultaneous ongoing boosts.
Update 27nO6
Reliable connection. Bandwidth has improved. I still rate them "OK."
I have switched isp's from InsightBB to Comcast. It took forever to set up service and the first telephonic contact seemed to totally drop my account. Setting up was a breeze, though; even my home network was no problem. Comcast didn't force me to load some mysterious program on my computers. I just hooked up my router to their modem and all computers that I have started so far have worked just fine.
I have only had this connection for a few days  I'll try to update this as needed.
It is now 21Apr06. The tested bandwidth has gone WAY down. I think they have over sold this node. My neighbors have hooked up to Comcast and uncovered part of my line. Both their line and part of my line have been unburied for months. Comcast must not have a good relationship with the line diggers. Other than these problems, things have been pretty good for me and my household.
It is now 24Apr09. No changes. I would rate their service as good. I have a rather odd by-the-way for you: my next door neighbor was have router problems and I was helping her and her family find a resolution. I did everything I could think of to help to no avail. I finally called Comcast to discover that my neighbor had chosen a service so low that Comcast blocks the use of any router. That seems strange to me. It seems that should be the prerogative of the customer - to use a router or not. If the bandwidth prevents effective use of a router, so-be-it; let the customer figure that out by performance issues.
