Comcast cable rocks!!

Comcast just doubled their internet speed from 1.5 mbps to 3mbps at no extra cost to subscribers!! just unplug modem, wait 60 secs and plug back in...and u're up to the new speed

Let's all move to New York then. Optimum Online (their cable provider) offers 10Mbps download and 1Mbps upload for less than $40 per month

NJ is one of the states that offers Optimum Online. I'd try to get that before anything.

OOL is currently in service in the tri-state area (NY/NJ/CT). Lucky bastards

lol @ no extra cost....not like they aren't ass raping us on the price anyway. My cable internet has gone up from $15.95 4 years ago to $45 w/ cable ($54 w/o) currently.

For the love of god, someone provide competition out here!!!!!
