JohnN, Comcast offers various levels of bandwidth for Internet. Of course, the faster speeds are more expensive, which you mentioned is a problem.

One more thing, if you own your cable modem and it is "old," downloads might improve if you buy a new one. I don't want to get too technical, but Comcast supports DOCSIS 3.0. I have Comcast and I own my own cable modem. A few months ago, I replaced an older cable modem (which supported DOCSIS 2.0) with a new one (which supports DOCSIS 3.0). The improvement in download speeds is noticeable and dramatic.
