|  Hope they bring a second cable alternative here, my comcast is great just nice to have a second option like Earthlink cable 42.95 2000/384 my comcast 42.95 1500/256. I would only switch if the upload was higher and the price was below 60$
I did finally get a sbc r/t put in 1,480 ft from me .I actually ordered sbc dsl 1500/256 59$. Last month the same week the raised comcast's upload to 256, alotta people i know dont get consistant speeds like i do 1400-1700/249,I had a slowdown here in sept from 1200-1400 to 300-500 in 1 day complained n complaimed it was fixed and speeds and pings better than ever,My node got overloaded they "split" it sept wow lotta bandwith!
I would love to have 384 upload or even higher that I doubt will happen 2 megs down would be nice also but im almost getting it . |

Westland, MI | So you know, EarthLink cable is typically limited to the host MSO's basic speed. |

Nope I didn't know,that blows.Makes sense though.
Actually since PRO is 3.5/384 seems like EL 2000/384 will be an option.

Westland, MI | a) Pro isn't the standard speed in your area
b) Don't expect to see EarthLink over Comcast in your area any time soon |

| I know Pro isnt the standard speed but if another cable co. gets access to the lines the bandwith is there and they can charge as they want. Like you said im sure not holding my breath, but I do think we will have A cable alternative by late 04 early 05 whether I would switch from comcast like I said would only be if it were A higher speed atleast the upload with the same or better pings,line qual I get with comcast. I love my comcast 1.5/256 had a little problem that was fixed promptly in Sept. only issue i'd had since the transition I would just like them not to be a monopoly here in Ypsilanti/AnnArbor area. I finally have A dsl alternative YEAH ,only if comcast's service goes to crap though nice to finally have atleast 1 alternative here!
Wish I had the wow/comcast choice like you do, my sister lives in Bellville well her addy is Bellville in Wayne co. I dont even think Bellville is green on the website for wow avail,she had comcast first now her comcast service wasn't up to par 800-1100/98-115 but her wow is great 1400-1500 very consistant upload of 294.She runs Windows ME uhg thats another story yuck |
