IT's not as bad here but many places around here (Golden, CO) top out at 3 Mbps, while some can't break 1.32...er...1.5 Mbps. I know friends who can get 7, at which point Qwest is cheaper (albeit a bit lower-speed) than Comcast. I can only get 5, and it seems as though Qwest has more problems with evening capacity than Comcast does. What's funny is that Comcast is using DOCSIS 1.1!
