Wow, 70 bucks a month to be called an idiot by some idiot working for Comcast. No thanks. I'll stick with NAT. 
Only a fool would sign up for that.

I'd agree if thats all it was but here is the part that was left out:
said by Comcast:
Home Networking customers will have a maximum download speed of 2.5 megabits per second, compared with 1.5 mbps for regular customers.
So it's not just a NAT for $20 extra. You also get your caps raised by 1Mbps.
Which at least makes it a viable option. |

Yeah now I have an eyebrow raised. Only if they offer back money for download speeds lost. We can all agree that at around 6 pm you will be going from 2.5 to 1.8-1.4-7--kbps download.

Canceling continues to be an option.
If you were not ever getting 2.5, I'd imagine that you would not keep the service. True in some areas people are lucky if they hit 1Mbps... |

| That would be if I were thinking logically. Unfortunately there are many Comcast customers, that despite getting shitty service, continue to pay "because there's nothing else" and/or they're afraid to go back to dialup.
