The Life and Lies of Comcast Cable Service

We recently switched to DSL from Cable.  I am never going back.

With Comcast, we supposedly had 12 Mbps of downspeed, while in reality we often struggled to stream low quality video.  With Qwest, we have 7 Mbps always.  We managed to stream an episode of The Office and a CNN video at the same time with no hiccups.  I haven't been able to test upstream yet, but I am confident that this is better as well.

However, we don't have any phone lines near where we normally have our router, so for now we have a monster of cables in our kitchen.  Also, our wireless is down.  Stupid Dell.
