Default Re: Internet service

If you read the Comcast sales spec, it says Internet speeds up to 6 MBPS. Of course, compared to dial-up that's fast but it doesn't come close to the Internet speeds in other markets. Verizon's new FIOS system--which is not available in TV, claims a speed of 20 MBPS and Cablevision in the NY metro area is already at 15 MBPS--and all for the same monthly rate. The area is sorely in need of competition. Anyone familiar with the Internet speed for Direct TV? Unless people make there displeasure known to Comcast either in writing or by switching, Comcast will continue to take the money and run.
