comcast $19 amonth..

this is my speed,

http://www.speedtest.net/result/632004939.png

My UPLOAD speed is as fast as ATT's PRO PACKAGE's DOWNLOAD SPEED that cost $30 or was it $35 a month. The upload speed is laughable.

I use to be on ATT forever when it comes to broadband, so I was hesistant going to comcast, but I havnt had a problem and its been 6 months now.

Before ATT was the most affordable, I think comcast was always $50+ for their basic plan. I'm not even using Comcast for any other service.

Coulda sworn internet from comcast is around 30-40 bux for the cheapest? 19 a month is pretty nuts.

JZ oo7, did you see my post above?

YES Comcast at those speeds that I posted for $19!!!

I got mine for a year, it looks like its only for 6months now, but you can usually just renew it for another 6 months at the same price.

Look in the right, you should see the $19 offer.

FIOS would be the fastest but they cost at least ~$50
