Re: I am waiting for it
Well at least you have comcast to hold you over. They may be crappy but they most likely have faster speeds than around here.
With a choice of Qwest or Mediacom around your really stuck with two not so great services. Gotta love the speeds 5/256  .
Some day one of them will upgrade something. |

San Diego, CA | Why they are charging $40-45/month. They can easily charge $100 for it and get the same rate of subscribers. 15Mbps symmetrical! How sweet! |

Prefer Qwest despite the power issues and the 60% helpdesk idiot rate, and that is because Xmission is a good ISP with a good help desk, even when it is Qwest's fault. And from what people say about Comcast, I think I will stay with the lower DSL speeds (1.5/1 or actual nominal 1.1/0.8).
Hmmm... well, I guess what I wrote up there makes sense, but I do not think I would want to write a report like that  .

If I recall, there are bandwidth caps, so the speed to me is rather moot. I'll take my friend's 100mbit synchronous uncapped connection in Stockholm any day, or, in the meantime, uncapped 1.5/896 from Qwest.
