I had their "Commercial" "High speed" with 5 static
addresses. They said 
there was no filtering. It was $85/mon, They were not honest. Their 
boarder routers would intermittently drop UDP packets if their source or 
destination was Vonage, and often for a route to Vonage would add up to 
3 seconds latency. Any other similar destination was fine. Also, their 
service would intermittently just stop. We go to calling this fenomena 
of half duplex phone calls "Comcasting".

Tech support would refuse to send a tech and consistently said the 
answer was to use their digital voice, starting at $45/month (Vonage is 
$15)....  finally after months, while I was hard balling a tech via my 
cell, the line dropped again just as she was tried to abandon the call - 
she saw the modem drop so sent a tech...

The tech found nothing wrong, but said ALL their modems reboot if they 
see too much traffic. I asked what was too much, and he had no idea. On 
Vonage, he said everyone has that problem with Comcast.... I never had 
the problem with DSL before Comcast .

That day we ordered DSL again - 5 static, dedicated AT&T line included 
w/o dial tone - 6m down, 768 kb up - $89/mon. ( Switched DSLAM port, not 
bridged)

Now, this proved Comcast is flat out lying in their advertising - it is 
not possible to get this upload and their down load seldom was better 
than 4 - 5m.

a static IP address. We were just with WOW and we were charged 9.99 for a
static IP address. WOW was a bit slower but at this point It does not make
since to pay 1200 a year for a staice IP address.
