If we move to TV as planned, I'd like to continue to have wireless in the home.As always, you guys are the best providers of information. Thanks a bunch.

MAKE SURE YOUR PORTABLE TELEPHONES ARE NOT ON 2.4 GHz. I USED SPRINT/EMBARQ DSL FOR NEARLY 4 YEARS HERE IN TV, THEN I SWITCHED TO COMCAST'S HIGHEST SPEED, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS ON THEIR WIRELESS, COULD NOT CONNECT OR STAY CONNECTED. FINALLY FOUND THE ANSWER. OUR PORTABLE (8) ARE 2.4 GHz, THE SAME FREQUENCY THAT COMCAST WIRELESS OPERATES ON. EVERYTIME THE PHONE RANG IT WOULD KNOCK US OFF LINE AND COULDN'T RECONNECT UNTIL THE PHONE CALL WAS ENDED. DONE THINK THE SPEED WAS THAT GREAT. I NOW HAVE SWITCHED BACK TO EMBARQ DSL HIGHEST SPEED AND SAVING $$$$.
