Re: Less than $1/mbit.... said by Crookshanks:.... which is a very great deal for an effectively dedicated connection, presuming they have enough back-haul to support it. I would stop short of calling this a dedicated connection, and it should not be compared to your employers dedicated business connection.
My understanding of terminology is that a "dedicated connection" allocates you a CDR (committed data rate) directly to the providers POP (point of presence), where the data is off-loaded to other providers.
I don't believe Comcast is providing a guarantee or CDR under this residential grade service. While speeds may reach the stated maximum, bandwidth is still shared between users out of the same CMTS/head-end |

| There is no CMTS here, it's essentially their metro area ethernet product. It isn't dedicated in the sense that you get an SLR/CDR, but I would wager that the only bottleneck on such a connection is the ability of Comcast's peering partners to move enough bits to peg the connection.
My employer doesn't even get a CDR to the internet, it's only dedicated to the edges of Time Warner's network, which is all any provider can promise. |

Correct. It doesn't come with a CDR or SLA. However, it does use their MetroE infrastructure. |
