Speeds now a days are faster than ever. But now I'm on a "value" speed of 2.5 megs up, 7.5 megs down. Its not the fastest, but its not bad. Its from Astound... (available in only a few areas) and is way cheaper than C0mc@st if available in your area. Our bundle even comes with a dvr and free on demand.. with tons of Anime on demand for Free! I did notice that the picture quality isn't as crisp as comcast, but its clear enough, and I doubt you would even be able to tell (unless you have the eye for it).
